How to add labels to error bars (Graph Builder)

MetaLizard62080

Hi,

 

I would like to add labels to my error bars which I have defined as my range for my dataset. My graph should have the means, and the minimum and maximum values of my data listed on the plot (A column chart).

 

Is this possible? I am only able to add for my means currently.

You didn't say which JMP version you have, so I assume JMP18 (not sure if point plots work in earlier versions, but float bar chart should).

 

Create your bar chart, then add two extra point plots OR float bar charts. Set these extra plots summary statistics to min/max. Then enable label on these. Change colors/sizes and so on as needed

Thanks! I actually have JMP 17. The point method does not have an option for adding labels, but the floating bar chart does so that helps!

 

I do have an additional question. Is it possible to only show the labels for certain bars? So, in your example, I would only want the min and max shown for your M bar and not F bar. Alternatively, is it possible to just delete superfluous values from the chart? Apologies for the novice questions but the graphing interface for JMP is a new experience for me.

It might start getting a bit annoying to do, as you have to start creating extra columns to display specific values. Below is one example how it could be done
