What inspired this wish list request?
The Parallel Plot (Sankey Plot) option in Graph builder is great! It provides you a very intuitive way to compare a multitude of columns.
You can even flip a scale to align columns which anticorrelate.
But there is one big problem which makes the parallel plot less useful than it could be:
There is no possibility to adjust the individual scales, like. e.g. in this Add-In: by @txnelson .
Therefore, a single outlier point can ruin a whole "column".
there are some option to solve the issue - with their own drawbacks:
- Nuke the outlier data point.
- Switch to log (x+1) scale, as @julian showed @ Discovery summit Europe 2023.
What is the improvement you would like to see?
Please provide an functionality to adjust the scales in Parallel Plot.
Nice: an option to choose ranges in order of MAD (median absolute deviation), e.g. +/-3MAD, +/-6MAD.
Why is this idea important?
With the new functionality, Parallel Plot will be much more useful than it is now.
