# Boxplot Chart

> Set up a Boxplot chart for distribution and quartile visualization.

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.
