boxplot with jittering

Hi, 

 

I have a boxplot created using visual "Box and Whisker by MAQ Software".

Is it possible to add jittering to the boxplot? When I create a measure 

Jitter = 0 - (RAND() - 0.2) it is not possible to add it into Axis category. Any ideas how to solve this problem ? (greenish points represent number of people entering rooms montly, each point = room). Thanks for help and suggestions.

Here's an example of one way to do it, with the Deneb visual.
