Use this set of xy pairs to draw a notched version

The formula for X value of NotchLeft is
=MEDIAN($A$1:$A$50)-(1.7*((1.25*(PERCENTILE($A$1:$A$50,0.75)-PERCENTILE($A$*1:$A$50,0.25))/(1.35*50))))

The formula for X value of NotchRight is
=MEDIAN($A$1:$A$50)+(1.7*((1.25*(PERCENTILE($A$1:$ A$50,0.75)-PERCENTILE($A$*1:$A$50,0.25))/(1.35*50))))

All other formula are as William W. Dorner's example.

Hi,


The technique describes how to use an xy-scatter to construct the boxes.


You need to add a few more xy pairs in order to reduce the width of the
Median line and form the notches.

Does anyone know how to create the notches in the verticalboxwhisker
charts?


An example can be found in figure 10 of the following article:
