What is Qlik Sense Distribution Plot?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A distribution plot displays a distribution and range of a set of numeric values plotted against a dimension. You can display this chart in three different ways, you can just have the value points displayed showing the distribution, or you can display the bounding box which shows the range or use a combination of both. In the distribution plot shown below, you can see there a range and distribution of the average sales values displayed for each product group. The outer bounding box shows the range whereas inner individual dots show the distribution. Each range and distribution box show how data values for a product group is distributed over the average sales range.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>You must read-<\/strong>\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/qlik-sense-statistical-distribution-functions\/\">Qlik Sense Statistical Distribution Function<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_46076\" style=\"width: 1038px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/12\/dist1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-46076\" class=\"size-full wp-image-46076\" src=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/12\/dist1.jpg\" alt=\"Qlik Sense Distribution Plot\" width=\"1028\" height=\"607\" srcset=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/12\/dist1.jpg 1028w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/12\/dist1-150x89.jpg 150w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/12\/dist1-300x177.jpg 300w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/12\/dist1-768x453.jpg 768w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/12\/dist1-1024x605.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/12\/dist1-520x307.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1028px) 100vw, 1028px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-46076\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Distribution Plot in Qlik Sense<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In a distribution chart, ideally, two dimensions and one measure are used.

Advantages and Limitations <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One major limitation of a distribution plot is that it provides an overview of the values and their distribution. It does not give a detailed account of the ranging and distribution of the values. However, an evident advantage is that it can easily display a general distribution of a set of numeric values over a range.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>So, this was all in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qlik.com\/us\/products\/qlik-sense\">Qlik Sense<\/a><\/strong> Distribution Plot.
