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”

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 KZread.

By far the best content about Power BI in KZread. Congratulations, Bas!

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.

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 🤸🏻‍♂️

One more jaw breaker video on PBI visuals. Thanks Bass.

Amazing, great stuff!

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)

Great and very useful. Thanks a lot Bass

Just brilliant. Don't stop Bass! ❤

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.

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?

What a video.legend !!

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?

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!

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?

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.

now with the feb 2024 release you can (100% overlap of columns became available).

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.

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.

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?

@@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?

@matthiaseilenbrock

8 ай бұрын

@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!

Bas, first time I disagree with you. A Box Plot is necessary to a Fisrt glance to see if the data is correlated. This correlation is not going to change over time in normal circumstances, which means that the plot is never going to change. And a decision maker would never use it to make a decision. Great content as usual, but I think that the plot itself is not that important for business purposes.

The average person doesn't know enough about statistics or percentiles to understand box plots unfortunately, so I think most of the effort put into this would be wasted for most roles. Not saying there aren't any good uses for them, but i've been a data analyst for 5 years and have never needed them.
