Line chart with spread (standard deviation)

Hello everyone,

 

I am looking to create a line chart that shows the average of a set of values, but also shows the spread/standard deviation of that average. Something like the image below:

Is it possible to create something like this in Power BI or get something like this from the marketplace? Or is creating an own custom visual the only option here?

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi @datazoo ,

 

I didn't find the visual like it in the marketplace. However, you can calculate standard deviation with STDEV.P() or STDEVX.P() functions. 

You can also develop your own visuals. Here is the document and you can refer to it.
