Hello tjd,
Box Whisker is in Office Store. Heve you faced any issues with this visual?

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.
