How to structure the data

  • 01Use one numeric value column and a group column; give every row the same group when you want one box.
  • 02Vizvero calculates Q1, median, Q3, IQR, Tukey whiskers, mean, min, max, and potential outliers from the raw observations.
  • 03Turn quartile, whisker, median, mean, and outlier annotations on or off without changing the source data.

What this example shows

Start with one distribution and see its median, quartiles, whiskers, and potential outliers.

Box plot vs box-and-whisker plot

Box plot and box-and-whisker plot refer to the same chart family. The box spans Q1 to Q3, the center line marks the median, and whiskers extend to the most extreme non-outlier observations under the selected rule.
