Adding x error bars to a scatter plot in tableau


I have a scatter plot in tableau:

enter image description here

I am looking to add error bars to the points but cant find how to do this. I would need to specify the lower limits and upper limmits (i.e. not just a fixed percentage of the value). The only thing I can find is adding y errors in the form of a gant plot but this isnt helpuful (I dont think) as I only need x errors.


Solution

  • Its possible with a combination of using Measure Values (to show lines between the error ranges) and a dual axis (to overlay the X values on the lines)
