    Error bars overlap and are indistinguishable

    Hello,
    Does anyone have advice as to how to "nudge" a data series so that its error bars can be seen instead of overlapping with the error bars of another data series?
    Thanks.

    In a line chart, you're kind of out of luck, since the data points need to
    line up with the categories. In an XY chart, you can add or subtract a small
    amount from the X value to slide the point over.

    Thank you very much! I didn't know about using XY & this has been a big help to me.
