G’day everyone,
New user of Power BI and first-time poster.
I want to know how I can create a visualisation of key distribution statistics (e.g. minimum, first quartile, medium, third quartile and maximum) using data that has already been summarised?
For example, consider the data example in the first screenshot below. I can use excel to show these statistics as a box and whisker plot that dynamically responds to the filters I’ve applied (see second screenshot below).

Is it possible to do something similar in Power BI? The only non-negotiable constraint is that the data is already summarised (like the example in the first screenshot). The visualisation doesn’t have to be a box and whisker plot, just something that highlights the distribution. The structure of the data set can also be different (e.g. the summary statistics can be restructured as columns rather than rows as they are in the example attached).
Thanks in advance for all your help!
PS: This forum would be even better if members could post files so responders had access to sample data or other reference material.
