    Having trouble graphing point estimates with confidence intervals

    I am looking to plot 4 points with confidence intervals. Perhaps importantly, some of the confidence intervals go negative

    I tried using the "stock" style of graph. However, when I do this, the point estimate does not show up (just the confidence interval) and the X axis category labels are right up against the zero line, which means they run over the negative confidence intervals.

    Here is a screen shot of my chart and data: http://i.imgur.com/edkSLex.png

    Your suggestions would be very much appreciated.

    Use errorbars.
    As a source choose nonstandard, and select prepared cells with lengths.
    Note that lower errorbars have positive value.
    See attached picture. (and next time - post a sample workbook).
    Graph type is linear with points only.
