Scatter Chart with Areas Shaded by Percentile

Afternoon,

 

I was working on a project after just seeing the new Symmetry shading feature and how incredibly useful that is, it bridges the gap visualy and how allows you to cluster/show the critical differences between a large number of datapoints.

 

I've had a look on the Custom Visual store and around the internet, but I couldn't find a solution.

 

I was wondering if anyone would either know or be able share some thoughts upon how difficult it would be to create a scatter plot where you could shade different areas of the visual background by the percentile bounds of a selected axis. As in, you could have three bounds, 0-25% which shows the lowest 25-75% which shows normality and 75-100% which shows the highest. From that you intuitivly easily see when there are extreme values, etc.

 

A funnel chart is an idea I've thought about as well.

 

I thought of doing this with standard deviation but the ARIMA expondential smoothing analytics feature was removed a while ago.

@ElliotP,

 

Alternatively, add Percentile Line in the Analytics pane.
