Default creating chart with average and standard deviation ?

Could someone please refer me to a faq or an illustrative internet site
about creating charts, in which average and standard deviation of the data
are displayed. The chart data are ratings for various persons, hence x-axis
is not numerical. Thanks, Marcel

Are you looking to chart a regression line?

No, I would like a line graph, where the average data are the points on the
line and for each point a line for the standard deviation.

Calculate the average and standard deviation numbers in the spreadsheet =

the average in a line chart using your favorite technique (i.e. the char=

and click Format | Selected Data Series... | Y error bars tab. Select t=

Custom boxes and enter the range that contains your standard deviations.=

Format the Y error bars as desired.
