# Creating a ListPlot From Imported Excel file with errors

I'm learning mathematica, and right now trying to plot a graph with error bars. What I would like to do is to import 3 lists with x values(1/viscosity), y values(permeance), and error values, and plot this using listplot. I can plot the x vs y values using "Thread" function, however when I try to use "Around" to include errors, I either get problems or no graphs at all. Is it possible to plot the graph in this fashion (I don't want to add error values one by one since I will be having a large number of data points produced, and I would like to keep importing my data from a previously produced excel files).

Code:

viscosityinverse =
Import["C:\\Users\\ilkvi\\Desktop\\Professional\\0-METU CHE \
PhD\\2-Research\\0-Experimental\\Flux Experiments\\Viscosity vs \
Permeance\\Hagen Poiseuille Equations.xlsx", {"Data", 1, All, 2}]

viscosityinverse = Drop[viscosityinverse, 1]

permeance =
Import["C:\\Users\\ilkvi\\Desktop\\Professional\\0-METU CHE \
PhD\\2-Research\\0-Experimental\\Flux Experiments\\Viscosity vs \
Permeance\\Hagen Poiseuille Equations.xlsx", {"Data", 1, All, 3}]

permeance = Drop[permeance, 1]

error = Import[
"C:\\Users\\ilkvi\\Desktop\\Professional\\0-METU CHE \
PhD\\2-Research\\0-Experimental\\Flux Experiments\\Viscosity vs \
Permeance\\Hagen Poiseuille Equations.xlsx", {"Data", 1, All, 4}]

error = error[error, 1]


• Please, provide the code you have used so far to import and plot your data. Oct 14 '21 at 10:45
• Uploaded the code. Oct 14 '21 at 11:13
• 1. Import your data only once with data = Import["..." , {"Data", 1, 2 ;; All}];. 2. Use ListPlot[MapThread[Around, {data[[All, 2]], data[[All, 3]]}]]. Oct 14 '21 at 11:48

 table = {{"", "1/Viscosity", "Permeance", "Error"},
{"EG", 2.22*^10, 2.57, 0},
{"DMSO", 8.7*^10, 14.09, 1},
{"Ethanol", 3.03*^11, 53.67, 2},
{"UP", 3.6*^11, 67.5, 5},
{"Methanol",  6.12*^11, 110.33, 16},
{"Toluene", 6.55*^11, 101.5, 0},
{"EthylAcetate", 8.45*^11, 112, 0}};

{viscosityinverse, permeance, error} = Transpose @ table[[2 ;;, 2 ;;]];



Variations:

ListPlot[AssociationThread[table[[2 ;;, 1]],
ImageSize -> Large]


Add the option LabelingFunction -> Tooltip to show labels in tooltips:

Alternatively, as suggested by Bob Hanlon in comments, use

ListPlot[Tooltip[{#, #2}, #3]& @@@

• The OP could also add tooltips with ListPlot[Tooltip @@@Transpose[{Thread[{viscosityinverse, Around @@@ Thread[{permeance, error}]}], table[[2 ;;, 1]]}]] For this data Callout could be used, but the OP refers to a large amount of data which would make Callout` too cluttered. Oct 14 '21 at 14:48
