You can add comments to the individual cells within an interactive report that use In-Document Analytics capabilities, to include information explaining your data, where it appears. For example, if you include data for Gross Profit, and you would like to include a comment about the decrease over the course of a quarter or year, you could add a comment to the Gross Profit cell that you want to call out. Recipients of this interactive report can view, and reply to your comments. Commenting is only available from the Cell menu on any given cell when creating a report.

A box plot shows a series broken down into quartiles for each group value. In a box plot, each series and group requires five values. For a given series and group box, the first value is the minimum (lower hat or whisker), the second defines the box bottom (first quartile), the third value is the median (second quartile), the fourth value defines the box top (third quartile), and the fifth value defines the maximum value (top hat or whisker). Outliers are drawn as separate points.
