We often have additional statistical information on our data points, like min/max, standard deviation (error), percentiles, etc.
It would be nice to be able to render at least error bars showing the confidence interval for our data points.
Standard deviation could be provided on a separate column which we could drag into the visual.
It would be nice to have this basic feature in the base product without having to install custom visuals. (I could not find a custom visual for this either.)

RE: Error bars
This is a necessity for anyone using power bi to display scientific research data. please add!
RE: Error bars
I got quite excited by the release of xViz mulitple access chart custom viz as this has error bars. However, you can only add fixed values, % or SD. This may meet some people's needs, but what we need is to be able to pick a field as you can in excel.
RE: Error bars
It would increase users significantly from our company, if we could plot standard deviation in the bar chart.
RE: Error bars
Error Bars are required at our organisation as this information is a useful visual to show min and max value of the mean score.
RE: Error bars
This would be very much welcomed, particularly on lines. We've been making a very ugly work-around with combo charts, but this would really help improve our intelligence service and let us further kick our Excel habit.
RE: Error bars
Error bars would dramatically increase the usability of PowerBI at our institution.
RE: Error bars
An idea for integration would be to use the conditonal formatting pop-up that already exists within tables as a template for error bars as well.
The inability to show uncertainty within the standard visuals is very limiting, but I can see how it would alienate others as well. Hiding them in its own menu would be a good compromise.
RE: Error bars
Very surprising to me that this feature isn't already included! PowerBI already has the data - users should be able to set their confidence interval and have error bars appear on charts.
RE: Error bars
Desperately need this feature!
RE: Error bars
Still waiting, would greatly appreciate if you could add this option to basic charts
