Power BI: Create Smart Dynamic Forecast Bands with Ease

Key insights

• Power BI allows users to create a dynamic forecast band, which visually shows possible future trends based on existing data.


• A forecast band is a shaded area around a line chart that helps highlight the range of expected values, making it easier to see uncertainty or prediction intervals.


• You can set up a dynamic forecast by using DAX formulas to calculate upper and lower bounds for your forecast, then display these as filled areas in your chart.


• To make the forecast band update automatically, connect it to slicers or filters so viewers can interact with the data and see real-time changes in the forecast range.


• This feature helps users make better decisions by quickly identifying potential risks and opportunities within their data forecasts.


• The dynamic forecast band improves data storytelling in Power BI by making predictions clear and easy to understand for all viewers.
