Range Indicator Charts

Range indicator, or metrics range, charts are useful for showing a target range and a tolerance range.

A range indicator chart adds a target and range marker to a column, line, or area chart.

The following example shows actual revenue versus planned revenue. The markers indicate the planned revenue, and the range and tolerance lines are defined by the chart author.
