Implementing a ‘Box and Whiskers’ chart as a core visual in Power BI could greatly enhance the platform’s data visualization capabilities. This type of chart is instrumental in statistical analysis, as it displays the distribution of data into quartiles, highlights the mean and outliers, and indicates variability outside the upper and lower quartiles.

RE: Epic idea: Box and wiskers
This is a fantastic and needed plot type -- we use boxplots all the time, and we've had to rely on R or Python to generate them. The third-party options for Power BI are clunky or broken, so this would be a game changer for us. Some ideas of features you might consider including (as other plotting tools do):User-selectable box widthGrouped boxplots for side-by-side comparisons of distributionsVariable color based on underlying data Toggle on/off display of mean, median. Also consider adding these (as a selectable option) to tooltips.Allow for different, industry-standard options for calculating and plotting outliers.
RE: Epic idea: Box and wiskers
Would be great if it could include an option to show the individual points as a jitter plot next to the box
