Create a boxplot by giving Power BI the needed parameters
Hi k943 ,
Thank you for your question. Yes, you can create a boxplot in Power BI by feeding in custom parameters like mean, median, 1st and 3rd quartile. Here’s a general approach to creating a boxplot with provided parameters in Power BI:
1.Download a box-and-whisker plot custom visual from the Power BI visuals gallery.
2.Import the custom visual into your Power BI report.
3.Ensure your data model has the calculated statistics ready to be used.
4.Add the custom visual to your report ,and the calculated statistics as values for the respective fields in the visual’s configuration.
You can achieve the results you want by following these steps. For more detailed instructions, you can refer to the Power BI blog post on box-and-whisker plots:

What if I do not have the actual data points but only the parameters i.e. minimum, maximum, mean, median, 1st quartile, etc.
