Multiple scales in box plot

Create a box plot with two items on the y-axis, and then set Trellis By to 'Column Names'. The scaling in both panels is the same so you cannot get reasonable looking box plots.

Expected:
You should be able to to into the y-axis Property and select Multiple scales for each panel.

Implemented in 14.5

add multiple y-axis scales on box plots

Merged
If data is displayed not within a single boxplot, but split out (trellis, x, color) into several ones, a single y-axis scale is only adequate if all data is within the same range. In engineering applications, there are often many orders of magnitu...

Add support for multiple scales when boxplot is trellised.

Merged
When using trellis on boxplot visualization, it is not possible to scale each trellis panel individually, therefore if some variables have very different scale, it is not possible to make sense of the visualization. We essentially need "Multiple S...
