Hello all,


I am trying to create a horizontal boxplot for 15 different categories. I am pretty much done with creating the 5th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and the 95th percentiles. I tried to introduce the mean values onto the boxplot as mentioned in the peltiertech boxplot website (Excel Box and Whisker Diagrams (Box Plots) - Peltier Tech Blog). However, for some wierd reason my mean values are not exactly aligning with their respective boxplots. I do not understand the exact reason for this although I am suspecting that it could be due to the offset value specification. Below, I have provided the mean values along with the offset values. Also, I am providing a link to the the chart below. Can anyone kindly suggest me the best offset values (or another suggestion if this is not the cause for this misalgnment)




Mean221716131719201617161618171817
Offset0.51.52.53.54.55.56.57.58.59.510.511.512.513.514.5
