I'm looking to put error bars on several line graphs. I know that I can adjust the error bars by line series, but can I specify the error bar ranges by data point? If so, how?

The graph labeled "Belief-Based 5-Class Model" is the one I'm working on

Each data point in each of the line series on that graph has a different confidence interval that cannot be specified by a percentage. I need to add custom error bars to each of the data points...if this is possible

So I see I can do that, but I then seem to only have the option of adding error bars based on line series and not based on data point
Excelchat Expert

the error data is the same for all the bars
Excelchat Expert
17/08/2018 - 04:29
1 mean for a given series the same
Excelchat Expert
17/08/2018 - 04:29
so 1st select a series ...then under design ->add elements ->error bar
Excelchat Expert
17/08/2018 - 04:30
so you can keep repeating that for each of the series I/C ,P/U

Each of my data points in the series I specify come from three different scales, with different means and different confidence intervels. Can I specify the error bars by data point only?
Excelchat Expert
17/08/2018 - 04:32
no not for each data point. for a given series you can specify
