Thank you for another amazing tutorial Bas. The timing of this was perfect for an ask I received! Your teaching style, personality and creativity are all incredible. It makes my morning when I see a notification showing a new video is posted. Thank you again!
Another great video. A couple small comments: 1. Perhaps you should also set up the minimum with a measure. That way your chart can also handle negative numbers. 2. I never noticed the sound effects before. Maybe I am just an old X-gen, but I find them distracting. Your videos have always been great without them. The old Mies' saying of "Less is more" might be applicable here. Having said that, I love your videos. By far the best PBI channel in RUclips.
Amazing creativity. Although this level of effort is just insane for something that should be standard in the PBI viz library. Histogram should also be part of the native viz library. MSFT made a mistake by relying too much on the idea of the “visualization marketplace”
You never cease to amaze! As soon as I saw it I knew you were going to use a combo chart. It's the measures that were giving me fits! Thank you for posting this.
Simply the best! No one else on RUclips does PBI as well as you. Just looking at the way your work and layout your metrics helps me level up. Thank you so much. P.S. if you're selling mugs I would deffo buy one
Awesome, it's just beautiful and the best, using native visuals. Bas, thank you very much for this video and for all your videos. I hope one day I can subscribe to at least one of your courses.
Thank you so much for this ingenious approach! I’ve been wanting to do box plots in PBI for so long, but could never use a custom visual due to IT restrictions 😢 - This will be a major enhancement in my analyses 🤸🏻♂️
thanks a lot! with the 100% overlap feature that was added to column/bar charts, there is now an easier approach however ( see the video 1 Trick for Endless Power BI Charts! )
Great video Bas. For financials or inventory where you have an opening and closing balance, you'd probably want to have the IQR/bar colours indicate how the opening and closing balances compare, e.g. Open > Close = red (value decreased) or Close > Open = green (value increased). Not sure how I can do that as there is no fx conditional format for the bar colours.
Thank you very much! That's brilliant and simple simultaneously! I just have one question - is it possible to add the outliers to this box-whisker plot?
Maybe stupid question here, but how you calculate 25% percentile or 75% percentiles? There are no built in DAX formula for those? (like median() ). Thanks Bas, great content
PERCENTILE.EXC(column, kth percentile) or PERCENTILE.INC(column, kth percentile) as DAX formula with k between 0 and 1 (the 0th and 100th percentile). In the EXC version the data excludes both lower and upper bounds, while INC includes them.
@@et2406 So for this tutorial, are we using INC or EXC ? I'm trying EXC at this point: Sales Quantity PERCENTILE 75 = PERCENTILE.EXC(Invoiced[TotalDollars],0.75)
Hi Bas,Thank you so much for this video.Would it be possible to create drill through to see the details of lower quartile and upper quartile range boxes seperately!?
Good video but arent the whiskers supposed to end on the upper and lower fence values which is 1.5 times the IQR and not the max and min as you show in this video?
Thank you! Just tried to create box plot for my report and it works perfectly! But, what if I have dataset with either positive and negative values? Can I somehow create box plot for these values too?
Amazing work around! I am wondering if there is coming video to show work around Scatter Plot / Bubble Chart showing creative ideas and working around adding dynamic customised labels to it?
Hello! First of all, what a wonderful video! My team and I had done a similar job but with your help we completed the job, thank you so much! We wonder if it is possible to include a marker with all sales on the Y-axis, like median or mean but with all sales and that the detail of the sales can be seen when hovering over it. Many thanks!
Thanks a lot, there is a later video that also covers boxplots in an easier way -> 1 Trick for Endless Power BI Charts! ruclips.net/video/W_oW68T98IE/видео.html
Thank you Bas for the great video. I have a challenge, while applying any slicer/filter/page interactive filter the error bars go to max data point irrespective of filters. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
you are more limited when trying this technique for building it horizontally. This is because the error bars feature will disappear as soon as you have 2 or more series on the chart.
Hi there, this is a great video and has helped me quite a lot. My data has outliers in it, we can't find and plot the outliers through this approach? Can you help me with this?
I wonder if it's possible to save time using calculation groups? I find myself creating multiple measures to build different box plots and yet maybe a calculation group would make it easier for me.
Do you need to make all the corrections to the secondary y-axis? I find, that if I turn on the secondary y-axis and then turn it off again, all the datapoints get related to the primary y-axis.
Thank you very much for the video, i have a question actually. Why do you set 0 and 30 as minimum and maximum of the axis? im actually doing a box and whiskers plot about temperatures of some refrigerators chambers and i need to understand why you set that limits on the Y axis.
I am using data that also includes the negative axis, that is why I want to understand the logic of how I designate the minimum and maximum of the y axis.
Great video, I would also add another filter/slicer for the different categories alongside the date slicer. That way I also get the option select for which category to view the change in distribution over time (e.g. 2018-2020)
Awesome work! Do you know if there is a way to get logarithmic scale to work? Seems to be greyed out when I follow this tutorial. My datasets contain a few massive outliers (resolution time for support tickets) and the max values always make the box illegible. If I reduce axis scale to just contain the box I lose the changes in max value. Any ideas?
Hi Bas, Do you know how we can use image as the Data Label for the chart? I created a measure with my img url and set the Data Category as Image URL but still shows me the URL in the data label and not showing the image
Great tutorial for creating a boxplot! However, when i use the DAX function PERCENTILE.INC(Sales[SaleAmount], 0.25) and PERCENTILE.INC(Sales[SaleAmount], 0.75) and subtract these to find the IQR my IQR bar exceeds the MAX point on several categories. why is that?
oops, .. should be there now! ... however the technique is outdated - maybe better to do it like in this video ruclips.net/video/W_oW68T98IE/видео.html

with the latest updates in Power BI you can achieve the chart in an easier way ruclips.net/video/W_oW68T98IE/видео.html .. then you can just drop a field on legend

Hi, For all the formulaes max, min and average its giving exact values by applying DAX while to calculate the median, it's not at all giving the exact value if we use MEDIAN(fact[sales])
power bi has a "new" on object editing option under preview. Turn it on and the formatting pane will looks the same. You can also leave it as you have and click on the analytics tab (right from formatting)
Or if you only need in desktop, then R visual (with limitations) is quick and easy :) Another awesome solution here from Bas! Is there anything he can't visualise? I think not.
The IQR is screwed if your data range from negative to positive. My current workaround is using error band on the median. This solution is unfortunately very situational :(
I have a challenge for you Bas. How can you restrict specific sheets for a specific user, when you publish a report to the power bi service? We know it can't be done using RLS or any other option available, so far. So... it´s up to you.
First of all, a big thank you, a great tutorial! Really a visually appealing solution, but unfortunately with two disadvantages: As soon as negative values come into play, the view is destroyed, and unfortunately, you can't recognize the outliers, such as according to John W. Tukey. Do you have any idea how we can catch that?
thank you ! 😊 I don't really get the point though. Outliers are captured in the range (max min) and I don't see why negative values destroy the view? could you elaborate a bit more
@@HowtoPowerBI Of course, no problem: Change your dataset to include negative values (e.g., -100, -90, ... 0 ... 90, 100) and remove the limits on the X-axis. Then you need to look at the boxes of the bar chart: The order of the boxes will be changed. Until now, you had the first box above the X-axis in white, then followed the two blue boxes for the quartiles. In my example above, the median is 0. The second quartile ranges from -50 to 0, the third from 0 to 50. However, your first quartile is reported at -50 and therefore represents the range from -50 to 0 in white. The boxes are incorrectly built upon each other. The minimum and maximum are correct, the metrics too. It's just the representation of the boxes that is wrong. Could you understand it this way?
@jackbeauregard7041 is correct, one must depict various scenarios since the boxes can be completely negative, partially negative, or only positive. Therefore, in the German financial administration, we have been using a box plot that takes the respective scenarios into account for quite some time, following the principle shown in the video. Our auditors can integrate this into any pbix file by adjusting the metrics and copying the code. We also do not have a solution for the real outliers in the often typical representation of the box plot with whiskers that are 1.5×IQR in length. I would be interested in an idea for that as well. But a great video, always a huge inspiration for us!
@@jackbeauregard7041 Exactly, unfortunately, I can't say more about it. But ultimately, the idea from the video just needs to be applied to the other conceivable constellations.

If Bas can build a Box Plot in under 20 mins using native visuals, why can't Microsoft build a native Box Plot visual in 9 years?

How do I get the Line and Stacked Column Chart with the Bar Errors options? It is not native function.
Please Sir, teach us to make Quartiles in measures to cotegorized others measures
This is excellent, thank you. Is it possible to flip 90 degrees & make it a horizontal box plot?
you are more limited when trying this technique for building it horizontally. This is because the error bars feature will disappear as soon as you have 2 or more series on the chart.
