Thanks a lot for the tutorial.
I was sure, Excel could do that out of the box but okay. Using your guide saved me quite some time.

Great post!! unfortunately this method breaks when some of the quartiles are negative. there you would need to split your data Table into two tables ( one for the positive values only and another one for the negative values only ). only then can you start calculating the differences and plotting the bars.

Hi there,

I have the same question as Celeste — how to tweak formula for negative numbers. I have a data set that is a calculation of the percentage change between FY 10 and FY 08. the results range from negative to positive. The data set is widely varied and I’d like to remove some of the outliers.

thanks for your advice!

Hey,

I was very happy to find your description, however, I was wondering how the second step, where you tweak the max, min… et c, would work if you had negative numbers? The reason that I ask is because I have a project where the numbers range from positive values to negative values.

Thanks for your help!!
