How to put std dev error bars in a chart

Page 141 of the Keynote User Guide states that error bars can be shown on plotted series data. Can anyone get this to work as expected with standard deviation bars for each plotted mean value? I spoke with an Apple Tech Rep today who supposedly knows Keynote well, but he could not get std dev error bars to display properly on a line chart.
Numbers has the same instructions as Keynote and seems to be designed to work the same way.

"Properly" means placing the error bars around the mean values for each data point in a series. In my case, the x-axis is time in minutes and the y-axis is concentration of a chemical.

  • Error Bars in WAD Chart

    All:
    Can anyone tell me if it's possible to add Y Error Bars to a chart in the Web Application Designer v3.5?  I'm able to add a trendline to the data series, but do not see an option for error bars.

  • How can I display different error bars for each point on a scatter graph?

    I have a scatter chart in Numbers and I need to add error bars to the points along both the x and y axes, however, the size of the error bars for each point need to be of different sizes. Is there a way to accomplish this or is there some kind of work around to acheieve a similar result? So far the only way I can find to add error bars only allows a standard amount for each point.

  • Error bars on column charts

    I'm having a problem with inserting error bars into a graph. In the Series window I pull down the menu and select "standard error", but all my error bars are the same, no matter how many categories i have, or how variable the data are within each catergory. How do i get error bars to reflect the actual data from my spreadsheet? I've calculated the standard deviations and standard error and they are clearly different from what the graph indicates. I can't select my own standard deviation data and apply it to the chart?

    Hi Jim,
    I checked out your claim that the Standard Error bars don't change and I can't confirm it here. Everything seems normal. Here's my test with 20 data points, using a scatter plot for easier reading, but the result was the same...
    And, here's the same function of randomized data with 53 points...
    Same data with Standard Deviation...
    All looks ok to me. It does require that you get the scale big enough to see the change in the error bars. I used a fixed scale for all three shots, and the data is =2+1.5*RAND().

    Under the property node _Chart where you have the ChartTitle, add the property PageSetup. Cascade that into another property node and choose CenterHeader and CenterFooter. You can write the strings directly into these properties. Use the following codes:
    Filename = &F, Date = &D, Time = &T
    Be sure to close all references that do not leave the page (ie. Chart, Legend, ChartArea, etc.). Otherwise Excel will hang later on.

  • Error bar problem

    This must be simple, but I can't figure out how to make either a standard deviation or a standard error bar to a chart.
    I place the numbers 22, 33, 44 in three adjacent cells. I highlight them and see average in the lower left area. I drag this average button to a new cell, and viola the cell says 33. I click the cell and click chart and make a bar chart and get a chart that has a bar at 33. I then click the inspector and under advanced click error bars and positive and negative. For fixed value it works fine. For standard deviation or standard error, the error bar does not exist?!! How do I use the std dev or std error buttons to generate the appropriate error bar?
    I can't believe this is a bug with the program, it must be a bug with me.
    Please help,
    Paul

    Thank-you Yvan for your continued support. I have been working on this as well and spent some time with a VERY receptive and helpful Apple specialist, Chris. Indeed, what I was looking for was a chart like Yvan posted as Graphique 6. A version I created is here (hopefully I've got this image insert working:
    image: !http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/HeCHRLWhs3C79ewObd_TdA?feat=directlink!
    I made the error bars by using a formula to generate the standard deviation:
    image: !http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/FnKGk70HlsKmn38cYPYQFw?feat=directlink!
    Then generated custom error bars with that cell:
    image: !http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/5IQm4ncUiq-Q9R8H2bb3zQ?feat=directlink!
    I just discovered that Excel implements the one-click error bars identically to Numbers. It is counterintuitive (to me and my coworkers who have listened to my ranting today) that the one click standard error or standard deviation buttons would not give the standard deviation or standard error plots on the average bar, rather than on a series of bars, as if they were independent data. Here is one of countless examples of data from peer reviewed scientific literature of how this type of plot is (and IMHO should be) used:
    image: !http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/5IQm4ncUiq-Q9R8H2bb3zQ?feat=directlink!
    One can see that some of the values are within the standard error of the other values, and some are significantly different.
    But I now realize that because the implementation is the same as in Excel, it is unlikely that the feature will be changed to what I see is a more logical use of the one-click button, since we can use the custom buttons if we really want to chart differently...
    I want to thank Apple and the responders to this thread for their time and patience.

  • Confidence interval error bars in charts

    Hello, does anyone know how to put the error bars on a chart?
    I can make a bar graph from my data but I need to add the error
    bars based on the confidence intervals of my data. Is there a way
    to do this? Can CFReport Builder do this?
    Thank you.

    You can't get Keynote charts to generate error bars, or to use error bar information from some other source -- that functionality just isn't available in natively-produced Keynote charts.
    However, charts that are copied from Excel and pasted into Keynote look quite good. You won't get all the cool textures, or 3D effects that you can with Keynote charts (and not having the latter is a good thing in my book). But, if you set the background of the chart to "None" from within Excel, the chart background will be transparent in Keynote, and you can do things like apply shadows that will conform to the chart elements. Any formatting that you do in Excel should be respected by Keynote.

  • Error bars in keynote

    Does anyone know how to manually insert individual error bars in a bar chart in keynote? the custom option is greyed out in keynote and when I tried it in Numbers I could only use the same value for all the columns rather than specify for each.
    Cheers

    Thanks for your reply; if this is the case then I must admit to being slightly disappointed. From looking at the Keynote tutorials I am aware that Keynote is not intended as an application through which to present scientific data, but because Apple usually include so many more useful features in their applications than Microsoft do (in my opinion), I thought they may have given us the option to add error bars to graphs and charts.

  • ERROR BARS ON CHARTS

    Does anybody know of a simple method to add error bars to the charts in Numbers or KeyNote. without error bars, graphs really do not tell us anything. The only way that I can see to add error bars is to draw them on manually, which is rather tedious. I know that this is not a full blown graphing package, but error bars seem to be an easy thing to implement. Is there some hidden feature that I cannot find.. please tell me so. If not, Apple team, please add this in the next release! This is such a useful feature.

  • How to put webpage in separate folder but linked to menu bar in adobe muse?

    How to put webpage in separate folder but linked to menu bar in adobe muse? Need to do this because I want to make this page password protected from the rest of the website.

    Hello,
    While uploading only that page from Muse to your host, use the "Host Directory" option to upload it to a different folder. You can choose to upload selective page by disabling/enabling "export page" option for the pages from plan view in Muse, as shown in this screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/vpuIEjtVdZRS
    To link selective pages to the menu, use "Manual" menus. This will allow you to link any page to the menu, even an external page. You can change the menu type from here: http://screencast.com/t/Ej8x2KrJ
    Hope this helps.
