Can you add count (n) to box-plot graphics?

Hey all,

Has anyone managed to add a count to a series boxplot graphic? I want to show the distribution of a score against categories, however, I also want to present the number of items in the category. Is anyone aware of a way to facilitate this?

Best,
Sam

    The label options on boxplots make them essentially useless, IMO. You can't even position them in the correct location (i.e. median goes on the median).

    You could concatenate the N to the axis labels. Something like this:

    Disadvantage is changing the names of the series makes cross-filtering between cards dice-ier.

    I would love some better options to graph variation in Domo (or even just better boxplots).

    Please 💡/💖/👍/😊 this post if you read it and found it helpful.

    Thanks @DavidChurchman - I like this solution, whilst it doesn't achieve what I would want visually, it does the job!


    Massively agree with the issues on the data labels for boxplots though. It's frustrating for the median to be at the very top (if selected). The hovertext is useful at least. Hopefully one for future updates!
