Error bars plot black triangles

[VAIUser]

In Excel 2007, when I try to plot vertical error bars on a chart with no zero
or negative values it gives me the standard error that "Negative or zero
values cannot be plotted correctly on log charts." Then when it actually
graphs the data there are strange black triangles stretching across the chart
that should not be there. I know that if I uncheck the "logarithmic" box it
will show correctly, but the x-axis needs to be logarithmic for this to work
for what I need.

There is another thread here that I am aware of but the solution that worked
for that person did not work for me, so I am looking to see if someone else
has come up with another option. Just a note, in the 2003 version of Excel,
when there are "Negative or zero" data points it just doesn't show anything
on the chart for them so there are no black triangles. Thanks for your help.

I would be interested in seeing this data and chart.
Can you send sample to my private email?

What is your email address? I tried to send it to (e-mail address removed),
i wasn't sure if that was your email or not. It wouldn't deliever the message
there. Do you have an alternate one?

I tried to send it to you without capital letters but I don't know if you got
it. If you didn't can you just write your email in a post here so I can make
sure I didn't mistype something, thanks.
