You can easily extend the built-in FORECAST.ETS() function in Excel 2016 to create something awesome like this:

I have just recorded a video explaining the process of creating such a chart in Excel. This is now part of our 50 ways to analyze data online class. You can get the video by joining our course waiting list.
