Among the numerous new charts available on the new Excel 2016 is the Box and Whisker Chart. This chart was originally created by John Tukey in the 1970s. The charts show the reader the distribution of data among an entire set, showing the outliers, range, quartiles, and median in a more organized manner.

The box that has an “X” on it will show the Mean, whereas the Median will separate the box into an interquartile range. The box shows fifty percent of an entire data set, which is shared among three quartiles. The first 25% of the data will be between the second quartile’s box and the remaining twenty-five percent will be situated between the values of the last quartile.

The outlier range in the Box and Whiskers chart is demonstrated by the lines that extend in a straight line outside the box. They point out the highest and the lowest data present in a data set. In order to learn how to use this chart, you should follow the instructions that have been given below.
