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+.
1. Position
Plot the reference band horizontally (start and end on the y-axis) or vertically (start and end on the x-axis).
2. Start
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.
3. End
Similar to the Start property, you can set the end point of the reference band.
4. Measures
Choose the measure values to plot the reference band. Reference bands can also be plotted based on the variance.
5. Label
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.
6. Placement
The reference band is generally plotted behind the chart. You can also plot it in front as shown.
7. Color
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.
