The Box and whisker plot chart for Power BI is a convenient way of graphically depicting groups of numerical data through their quartiles.

It shows basic statistical information (five-number summary) of a dataset:

• the 1st and 3rd quartile (box)

• the median (line)

• the mean (dot)

• minimum and maximum value, 1.5x interquartile range [IQR] or custom percentile value (whiskers)

Other options:

• Add static reference line(s)

• Option to show outliers

• Option to show median/mean indicators

• Optional support for highlight and 'Fixed Categories'

• Label formatting options, including font size and font family

• Option to enable data labels
