    Mr. Bradburn, may the rains fall soft upon your fields. May you bask in the sun and never get a burn; may your parents be liberal in their affection; may your children grow up to recognize the beautiful man that you are. Go forth this day with the knowledge that lives, or at the very least occasional Thursday evenings, are changed. God bless you. If you are not a religious man; you rock. You also rock if you're a religious man, to be clear. You get what I mean.

    What a pleasure to encounter such a well organized and explained video! Followed your steps, et voila, the graph I need with error bars, thank you. In return, I offer this quote, from a distinguished colleague: "If I see a graph without error bars, I assume they are the width of the page." :)

    For excel 2020,
    1. Create a bar graph
    2. Add Error Bars - Standard Deviation (don't look for more option, its not there)
    3. Double click on the error bar - 'format error bars' will pop up from the right hand side
    4. See the error amount, it will most likely be on standard deviation - change it custom
    5. Click 'Specify Value'
    6. Fill the value with your error bars - click OK
    AND YOU ARE GOOD TO GO :)
    GOODLUCK, TAKE DEEP BREATH AND CARE ON. REST IF YOU NEED TO!

    Hi, if you have error numbers of data from a machine you used to analyse chemicals, can you use that error number in the excel error bar instead, or is the error bar only used for standard deviations that is calculated in excel? The machine I use calculated parts per million of a chemical, with an error number saying it could be this much more or less of parts per million. I hope that makes sense.

    Also do we need to mention that error bars are based on STDEV or STDEV. P or STDEV. S

    Thanks for this!! I have a question - I created a bar graph representing the fold change of my gene of interest (treatment group fold change divided by control group fold change). I have 2 standard deviations - one for the treatment group and control group. Should I divide the treatment SD / control SD as well for my error bars? Or should I add the two SDs together?
    Data:
    Treatment fold change average = 5.9
    SD of fold changes (3 samples) = 3.14
    Control fold change average = 1.01
    SD of fold changes (3 samples) = 0.23
    Treated/control fold change = 5.83
    Error bars = ??
