Violin Plot on Power BI Page
How is the violin plot created that is shown on all Power BI marketing materials? I have used the violin plot that can be downloaded from the store, but does not have the same impact as this visual.

Maybe you need to do some changes in “ Format” to get the impact you want.
Here is a sample I made:

Hi Anonymous
I'm the author of the visual and in addition to the links provided by v-easonf-msft, I also wrote this article on the correct use of the Sampling field to help clarify how the data needs to be structured for the Violin Plot, as it works differently to a number of the core visuals. Hopefully you'll find it useful.
I notice this post is a couple of weeks old, so I hope you have managed to get the visual to do what you want by now, but feel free to reach out to me if you have any specific questions - I'll be happy to help 🙂
All the best,
Daniel
Hi dm-p
I have a log table which consists of 4 columns (UserID, eventID, rating, timestamp). It has about 12000 rows. I created an index field to ensure each entry has an unique identifier and then used the index field for sampling and numeric rating field for measure. However, nothing returned from my violint plot canvas. I then replaced this index field with UserID or eventID, either one could generate a violin plot. Could you please help me with this?
best,
