Needs VotesLine charts and KPIs should have the ability to represent errors (error bars, or +/- error %).

Any data that is not counts or money is associated with an error or uncertainty; when visualized using lines or KPIs this should be shown either as absolute or relative error value or error bar. Conditional coloring (for KPIs) should also take this into account - i.e. don't go red when we failed the target but our error is so high that we can't really be certain.

Error bars are essential in representing the distribution of the data. Not having the option seems crazy to me.

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.

This should be merged with this idea https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/13328631-error-bars

I really need confidence intervals on our visualizations. If we think we have 55% share plus or minus 5% that error range is critical to be part of the visualization.
