Hi Tim,

There is a "special" chart type that appears from the Line Chart after you do forecasting which gives exactly what I think you are looking for.

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/planning-analytics/2.0.0?topic=ft-forecasting-tutorial-step-5-forecasting-data-line-visualization-1

The documentation example is on the sample model but you can do exactly the same steps with your own data/model and get the chart to show up with a confidence range.
You need to follow the steps exactly, and If I recall correctly that includes your "Actuals" being on a different member slice to where you put your "Forecast" i.e. a version/scenario dimension.

I hope that the functionality of the standard line chart gets expanded so we can set it up ourselves to have these "bands" etc but at the minute we can get to it but it feels a bit clunky and its difficult to set it up prior to the users doing their "Forecasting".

Thanks,

Declan

Hi Stuart,

I´m getting closer! The chart type only works if you duplicate the Exploration View and then change the chart type. 
Right now I have the correct chart type, but it doesn´t show the confidence interval.... But when I look at the data from the single data points, I can see that the CI is also part of the data point (see screenshot).

Do you have an idea why it is not shown?

Thanks and regards
Tim
