Reference band

Reference bands depict a range of values rather than just a single point (as reference lines do). This is particularly useful when the data can vary within a certain expected range, such as target ranges for performance metrics.
Let's look at how to configure reference bands in Analytics+.
Plot the reference band horizontally (start and end on the y-axis) or vertically (start and end on the x-axis).
Configure the starting point from where to plot the reference band. It can start from 0, the average line, the minimum line, etc. You can also specify a custom starting point. Notice how the starting point of the reference band changes based on the selection.
Similar to the Start property, you can set the end point of the reference band.
Choose the measure values to plot the reference band. Reference bands can also be plotted based on the variance.
Display a label for the reference band. Display text, the end point value, or text along with the value.
Name: The endpoint position is automatically used as the label name. You can specify a custom name if required.
Offset: Specify the distance from the x-axis and y-axis to position the label.
The reference band is generally plotted behind the chart. You can also plot it in front as shown.
You can customize the label, band and band border.
Label: Set the text style to Regular, Semi bold or bold. You can also set the label color and font size.
Line: Choose from solid, dotted and dashed styles for the border lines. You can set the width and color.
Band: Customize the color of the reference band.
When your dataset contains a time series, you can render reference bands for custom date ranges or the current week/month/year.
Select the Timeseries radio button as the Type option.
