Thread: box and whisker

I would like to see Excel have a box and whisker graph as an available chart
type. I have been unable to figure out how to teach Excel to do this.
Basically, for any set of data, you would calculate minimum, lower quartile,
median, upper quartile, and maximum. These would be graphed above a number
line. Please see http://ellerbruch.nmu.edu/cs255/jnord/boxplot.html for more
details.

Can anyone tell me how to get excel to do this?

Thanks.
Mike
