Why are there Three Trend Lines in Tableau


In Tableau when I go to Analysis > Trend Lines > Show Trend Lines, why does it show 3 trend lines?

What does this mean?

Or can you tell me to google to figure this out? I'm stumped ???

Solution

  • The lines above and below are confidence bands: http://onlinehelp.tableau.com/current/pro/desktop/en-us/trendlines_add.html

    Tableau confidence bands show upper and lower 95% confidence lines by default when you add trend lines.

    You can turn them off by clicking "Show Confidence Bands" in the dialog.
