Tip

Build a Box Plot with Standard Cognos Charts

A box plot communicates median, spread and outliers, but the exact visualization may not be available in every report scenario.

Practical approach

Where a dedicated box plot is unsuitable, consider whether standard chart components can reproduce the needed summary indicators.

Validation and limitations

Calculate quartiles consistently and clearly document any approximations in the resulting chart.
