# Create a five-number summary

Perform the following steps to create a five-number summary of data points for a Boxplot chart:

1. Create a new or open an existing Analyzer report and select **Boxplot** from the chart dropdown.
2. Right-click any **Measures** field and choose **User Defined Measure**> **Create Calculated Measure**.

   The **Calculated Measure** dialog box displays. See [Creating a calculated measure in a report](/pba/10.2-analytics/pentaho-analyzer-cp/advanced-topics/use-calculated-measures-in-analyzer-reports/creating-a-calculated-measure-in-a-report.md).
3. Create a calculated measure that returns the median value.

   1. Enter the following MDX query In the **Create Calculated Measure** formula panel: `Median(<Set>, <Numeric Expression>)`
   2. Enter an appropriate name and click **OK** to create the median calculated measure.

   You can return a set of descendants of a set member at a specified level, optionally including or excluding descendants in other levels with the following code: `Descendants(<Member>, <Level>)`

   See [Mondrian documentation](https://mondrian.pentaho.com/documentation/mdx.php).
4. Create a calculated measure that returns the lower quartile value.
   1. Enter the following MDX query In the **Create Calculated Measure** formula panel: `FirstQ(<Set>, <Numeric Expression>)`.
   2. Enter an appropriate name and click **OK** to create the lower calculated measure.
5. Create a calculated measure that returns the upper quartile value.
   1. Enter the following MDX query In the **Create Calculated Measure** formula panel: `ThirdQ(<Set>, <Numeric Expression>)`.
   2. Enter an appropriate name and click **OK** to create the upper quartile calculated measure.
6. Create a calculated measure that returns the minimum value.
   1. Enter the following MDX query In the **Create Calculated Measure** formula panel: `Min(<Set>, <Numeric Expression>)`.
   2. Enter an appropriate name and click **OK** to create the minimum calculated measure.
7. Create a calculated measure that returns the maximum value.
   1. Enter the following MDX query In the **Create Calculated Measure** formula panel: `Max(<Set>, <Numeric Expression>)`.
   2. Enter an appropriate name and click **OK** to create the maximum calculated measure.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.pentaho.com/pba/10.2-analytics/pentaho-analyzer-cp/creating-analyzer-reports/visualizations-for-analyzer/boxplot-chart/create-a-five-number-summary.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
