Graphing each replicate

Print this Topic

The advantage of showing every replicate instead of error bars?

When making a XY graph, Column graph or Grouped graph, you don’t have to plot error bars. Instead you can graph each data point (replicate). This is often the best way to display variation, as it shows your data exactly.

XY graphs

Choose Each Replicate when you pick the error format for your graph.

Column graphs

Choose to make a scatter plot

Grouped graphs

Choose to make either a vertical or horizontal scatter plot. You can choose to plot a line at the grand mean or grand median.
