Have you considered the use of custom visuals like Deneb?

    I have tried branching out to other visuals - PowerBI is about the least intuitive thing I have ever worked with and 99% plus of the online information skips past data ingestion right to report formatting or just uses hardcoded data which is useless for someone starting from scratch.

    I have made some very minor progress trying to display a box and whisker plot for a column of values (something trivially easy to do in excel or any other software package). I had to create a distinct index number to even get data to show but the program for some reason still insists on requiring multiple axes for a box and whisker plot which is inherently 1 dimensional!

     

     

    It is immensely unintuitive to need to provide a unique id for each table row and then also specify to pull the max value for each of those (unique) rows and then for the program to still not allow you to calculate this as a single chart much less allow me to generate multiple box and whisker plots off of different columns.

    (obviously this complaint is limited to DataScenarios box and whisker chart visual add-in but its honestly the same struggle with every form of visualization available)
