2.1.1461 Part 1 Section 21.2.2.57, errDir (Error Bar Direction)
a. The standard does not define the behavior when the errDir element is omitted.
-
In Office, if this element is not defined the default behavior is x for horizontal bar charts. For all other chart types, the default behavior is y.
b. The standard states errDir can be a child of any errBars element.
-
Office loads and respects this element on any errBars parent element; however, this element is only saved back out on line or scatter series.
