Tableau - Box Plot The box plots are also known as a box-and- whisker plots. They show the distribution of values along an axis. Boxes indicate the middle 50 percent of the data which is, the middle two quartiles of the data's distribution. The remaining 50 percent of data on both sides is represented by lines also called whiskers, to display all points within 1.5 times the interquartile range. which is all points within 1.5 times the width of the adjoining box, or all points at the maximum extent of the data.
The Box Plots take one or more measures with zero or more dimensions. Box plots divide the data into sections that each contain approximately 25% of the data in that set. Box plots are useful as they provide a visual summary of the data enabling researchers to quickly identify mean values, the dispersion of the data set, and signs of skewness. A boxplot can give you information regarding the shape, variability, and center (or median) of a statistical data set. Also known as a box and whisker chart, boxplots are particularly useful for displaying skewed data. Statistical data also can be displayed with other charts and graphs.
Uses of Bullet Graph Bullet graphs are used to compare one value, represented by a horizontal bar, to another value, represented by a vertical line, and relate those to qualitative ranges. It compares sales performance for spices in different regions this year to sales performance last year. The bullet graph features a single, primary measure (for example, current year-to-date revenue), compares that measure to one or more other measures to enrich its meaning (for example, compared to a target), and displays it in the context of qualitative ranges of performance, such as poor, satisfactory, and good.
Creating a Box Plot Using the Sample-superstore, plan to find the size of profits for the respective category for each Ship mode values. To achieve this objective, following are the steps. Step 1 − Drag and drop the dimension category to the Columns shelf and profit to the Rows shelf. Also drag the dimension Ship mode to the right of Category in Columns shelf. Step 2 − Choose Box-and-Whisker plot from Show Me. The following chart appears which shows the box plots. Here, Tableau automatically reassigns the ship mode to the Marks card.
Box Plot with Two Dimensions You can create box plots with two dimensions by adding another dimension to the Column shelf. In the above chart, add the region dimension to the Column shelf. This produces a chart which shows the box plots for each region.
