Thanks for your question! Sorry I’m so late responding! So the standard errors are the normal standard error. I just had to use “custom” to allow me to type in the actual standard error. Unless you have full data in excel (which you certainly could do), clicking the “standard error” option in excel won’t give you the real standard error because it doesn’t have the data. All you copied in is the mean so it has nothing to base the se off of. Unless you were to copy the full data into excel, you’d have to make the error bars this way.
This was very helpful, thanks!
Thank you!!! Let me know if you have any questions!
Thank you so much. How would you report the customised standard error in APA format? As you won’t report it as Error bars represent standard error.
