Idea: Box and Whisker or Violin Plot Visuals as Standard Visuals

While there are third-party visualizations for Box and Whisker or Violin Plot visuals, some organizations don't allow the installation of third-party sources.

 

Box and Whiskey or Violin Plot are very useful for understanding the mean, upper/lower quartile, and the max/min values of a dataset. Example might be HEDIS quality performance, BMI, paid per procedure -- all to better understand clinical variation in the community and within medical service centers. Box and whisker plots are frequently used visualizations in academic literature.

Thanks for sharing! Box and Whisker and Violin Plots are very useful for understanding data distribution.

When third-party visuals aren’t allowed, we can use built-in Power BI visuals or R/Python scripts to achieve similar insights while keeping data secure.
