In effect, you have to calculate the differentials between the following: Next, calculate the differences between each phase. Top of Page Step 2: Calculate quartile differences

The following quartiles are calculated from the example data set: To do this, create a second table, and populate it with the following formulas:ДЄs a result, you should get a table containing the correct values. Step 4: Convert the stacked column chart to the box plot styleДЇirst you need to calculate the minimum, maximum and median values, as well as the first and third quartiles, from the data set. Each column has 30 entries from the following ranges: In our example, the source data set contains three columns. While Excel 2013 doesn't have a chart template for box plot, you can create box plots by doing the following steps:Д¬alculate quartile values from the source data set.Д¬reate a stacked column chart type from the quartile ranges.Д¬onvert the stacked column chart to the box plot style.

In some box plots, the minimums and maximums outside the first and third quartiles are depicted with lines, which are often called whiskers. In a box plot, numerical data is divided into quartiles, and a box is drawn between the first and third quartiles, with an additional line drawn along the second quartile to mark the median. If youвЂ™re doing statistical analysis, you may want to create a standard box plot to show distribution of a set of data.
