A Boxplot shows the distribution of a numeric variable: quartiles, median, and outliers.

Data Requirements

  • 5+ numeric columns (or a grouped structure with enough numeric values)
  • Boxplot is enabled when your metric has at least 5 numeric columns and 3+ total columns

How to Set Up

  1. Create a metric with at least 5 numeric measures or columns.
  2. Click the Charts icon and choose Boxplot (if available).
  3. Under Required Axis:
    • Horizontal Axis: Category/dimension for grouping.
    • Vertical Axis: The numeric measure(s) for the distribution.

When Boxplot Is Disabled

Boxplot may not appear if:
  • You have fewer than 5 numeric columns and 3+ total columns.
  • The data shape does not support quartile calculation.

Alternative

For fewer numeric columns, use a Bar or Histogram chart with a binned dimension.
