What inspired this wish list request? 

Some while ago, I found this post in the community:
In graph builder, is there a way to set the default color code gradient range to "Middle 90%"? 

by @tsg.

Up to now, there was no reply - and I could not find a related wish ...

What is the improvement you would like to see? 

Possibility to set the default range of a color gradient to Middle 90%.

Alternative options: 1% - 99%?

Why is this idea important?

The middle 90% option is amazingly useful - outliers don't destroy the color settings. Especially for exploratory data  analysis of a "dirty" dataset - e.g. by using the Column Switcher!

But at the moment, the user has to enable the setting manually - and concerning Column Switcher it's disabled after every single switch. Argh!

The possibility to set the default range of a color gradient to Middle 99% would solve the issue

you are right, I edited the post:  no hidden data points.

One could argue that colors for out of range data points are misleading.
This might be the reason why the mode is just available "manually", but not by default.

Kudos = 14 (black) -- or 17- 37 (labels)?

To fix the issue one can add a steep trend at the end of the color scale

to mark "out of range" points with another color:

Alternatively, one can Show message if color range type set to Middle 90% -- I just uploaded a new version of  Graph Builder Toolbar with this feature : )
