The help states you can only add error bars to data series in 2D area. Is
there a way to add them to a 3D chart?
 
Hi,

I would not have thought so. Obviously as it is not a built-in option
the only way would be a work around perhaps using dummy series.
Unfortunately you can create 3d combination charts.
Stick with the 2d view.

Cheers

I checked, and error bars are not offered for 3D charts. As Andy suggests, keep away
from the 3D chart types. That third dimension usually has nothing to do with the
dimensionality of the data, and everything to do with distorting the information in
the chart.
