How to get bar/box plot showing single data points?

Hi people, I have a set of data, which can be divided to two groups A and B. I wanted to build a graph, where A and B would be on X-axis, and all the single corresponding data points would then be shown on Y-axis. Something similar to box plot or bar diagram, but instead of one value (mean or sum) I want all single data points shown. I know how to do that in Origin but couln't find it in Power BI. I tried to search in "Format" for both box and bar plots, didn't work. Will be grateful for any suggestions!

Try one of the dot plot options in the Get More Visuals AppSource. Or you could build it easily with the Charticulator or Deneb visuals.

Hi, @Anonymous ;

If I understand you correctly, you can use a bar chart, if you want to show the average, you can create a measure and then put in the value. like below:

averg = CALCULATE(AVERAGE('Table'[Value]),ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Cate]))

The final output is shown below:

If not, please share more details?

Thank you for your answer, but I rather meant something like this. I finally managed to do it with an additional dot plot option, as suggested another commentator. This graph is not ideal but is the closest to what i wanted (among what i have found for PowerBI).
