Our team is currently working on configuring an application that recreates figures initially published in a print report in a way that allows users to dynamically interact with the data. Some charts that we would like to configure are based on models and require the display of error bars to convey information about our confidence in the model. Unfortunately, there is currently no way to configure error bars on Experience Builder's Chart widget.

Instead, we are currently producing these figures in Power BI and pulling them into our application using the Embed widget. It would be extremely valuable if we could configure error bars for figures that we build directly into our application, as that would give users a uniform interface and reduce the effort required to maintain the application's figures.

I would like there to be an option that would allow our team to configure error bars for data series displayed using Experience Builder's Chart widget.

I'm giving this a kudo as I would also really appreciate being able to display confidence intervals in a traditional way, but if you're at all interested in a non-traditional way, you can use the new combo chart capability to sort of do that.

The blue columns represent categories of a thing, the black dots represent the lower bound of the confidence interval, and the yellow dots represent the upper bound of the confidence interval:

Have your lower and upper bounds available as fields and select those along with your main measure:

When you format the series, make your main measure a column:

Then make your error bounds lines with a 0 pixel line width:

Be sure to include a legend with the chart.
