This was very useful. It did not quite work in Excel 2008 for Macintosh because the ordering in the stack was different and the error bars are set up very differently. However, with this as a starting point I was able to get the plots that I needed. Thanks.

I’m working with standardized data, and I’m getting my max showing as equaling my 75th percentile (3rd quartile); I’m also having the same problem where my min equals my 25th percentile. Help???

Hey Jesper

Awesome tool! I found the graph in your example didn’t quite match the data you had for the whiskers. Not sure why it was different, but I found I had to get the ‘max’ value in the ‘trick’ data block to be Max-Median from the ‘true’ data block, and ‘min’ value had to be Median-Min.

This produced the ‘trick’ data block below which produces a graph matching the graphic you have.

Hope that helps!

Max 4.7 1.3 1.9 4.2 2.4 3
Upper 1.1 0.3 1.3 2.5 1.7 1.9
Median 3.7 2.2 0.9 1.5 0.5 1.2
Lower 51.3 46.3 43.2 62.7 52.1 54.5
Min 4.7 3 1 2 1.4 2.5

I can’t get the whiskers to show the same way. I saw that Carla stated that you have to select the bottom but I don’t have that option.

@viajy – you have to go to select data and change the order of the series to get it right.

Thank you so much, i needed this for a physics lab, but the instructor figured we already knew how to do this. Very helpful.
