origin pro learning edition - I am trying to plot a graph with an X value and mean value as Y, then above the mean a max value and below the mean a min value so it looks like a standard devation graph but it is not. How can I do it for a line plus symbol graph?

I suppose you meant that you have multiple Y columns and want to plot its Mean, Max and Min.

You can put X location info. on Comments cell of each Y column.
Select all Y columns and choose Plot: Statistics: Interval Plot.

It plots mean + 95% CI by default but u can customize it.
Double click any plot to open Plot Details.

left click any plot and change the plot to be Mean/Min-Max


Ctrl+R to rescale to show all.

To change the plots to show as X locations, double click any plot to open Plot Details dialog.
Go to Box tab.
At the bottom of the dialog, set X Position to be Comments.




Watch this video for grouped interval plot

I tried this but this works column-wise and gives mean/min-max for column-wise data. My data is row-wise time in 1 column as the x-axis and the corresponding raw data in multiple y columns. How can I plot an interval plot for that?

Unfortunately there is no direct way to plot rowwise data as box chart.

But you can
1. calculate mean, mean-min and max-min using cell formula. Then set the mean-min and max-mean columns as YErr type and plot them as line+symbol.
Note: For mean-min, turn only negative error bar on, while for max-mean, turn only positive error bar on.
See Book1 and Graph1.

2. Use the Worksheet: Transpose... to tranpose the data. Then use the transposed data to plot the interval plot (variation of box chart) and set the whiskers as min-max.
See Book2 and Graph2.

See the attached opju file and image
