Fan chart

Overview

Using Forecast analysis on multiple same series you can create a Fan chart from Time chart and show uncertainty associated with forecasts.

How to create a Fan chart?

  1. Add same series on Series list - as many times as you have predicted variants - plus one which will be the 'core' series.
  2. Change descriptions on Series list if needed.
  3. Add Forecast analysis, use 'Edit' to add forecast to each variant-series.
  4. If this is an Index (like in below example) you can add Rate of change analysis and create percentage series.
  5. Add Time chart, change colors or apply Style sheet.
