Box and Whisker Plot

Any idea when the revised visual will be loaded to the store?  Right now there is none and, it appears, a revision is about to come out but nothing can be downloaded now from the store.

    tjd, this is correct at this moment. It takes +/-2 weeks before new visuals are available for everybody after store approval. This is needed to assure that existing reports are not breaking. But indeed there is now a strange situation that the store entry is of the new version and you can use the old version. But is +/- 2 weeks your reports are updated automatically.

    Hi, just a quick notice: the new version is now available for everyone.

    If you have further questions, feel free to ask.

Hi,

 

 

The Box and Whisker chart needs data is a specific way.

  • Category - This field contains the categories. For each (unique) category a different chart is drawn.
  • Sampling - All these fields are being used to 'sample' the dataset or 'creates rows'.
  • Values - The values field contains a numeric value to calculate the statistic values needed for the charts.

This is also the reason that the option 'Don't summarize' is not available for this chart: it is how the data is bound to the visual and that is needed for a next release when there will be support for drill-down.

 

Multiple values is not supported: the chart only uses one measure for calculation the needed values.

Or do you have a scenario where you need to have multiple measures in one box and whisker chart?

That works! Another question is for outliers, when I hover a outlier point, it only shows values and category, but no samplinmg fields showing.

For example, I put "Platform" into Category,  "Date" into Sampling and "Revenue" into Values. And I want also show "Date" in outliers point detials when I hover my mouse.

How can I resolve this? Thank you so much.

    At this moment this information is not exposed in the details.

    But what kind of information do you like to see? All the fields used to sample the data, e.g. sampling: date?

    And do you like to see that information also in chart details?

    Exactly! I'd like to see all fields used in sampling in outliers and chart details. In addition, it would be the best if the chart can show every data point. Thank you very much.
