How to create a Violin Plot without coding
You need to visualize data distribution, and you know a Violin Plot is the perfect chart for the job.
But when you try to make one in traditional tools like Excel, you realize it needs advanced statistical add-ons or coding. You waste hours looking for tutorials or templates, only to end up with a static image that you can't interact with.
You need a better way.
The Problem with Traditional Tools
Most BI tools treat the Violin Plot as an "advanced" feature. They require:
- Specific data formatting (that takes hours).
- Installing custom scripts or plugins.
- Writing code (Python/R) just to get the dots to show up.
Create a Violin Plot in Datastripes
Datastripes makes advanced visualization accessible.
- Upload Data: Just drag your file.

No plugins, no coding. Just instant insights.
Export to Presentation
Once your Violin Plot looks perfect, you don't just take a screenshot. You can export it directly to an editable PowerPoint slide or share it as an interactive link.
Why Violin Plot Matters
A Violin Plot is a method of plotting numeric data and can be understood as a combination of a box plot and a kernel density plot. It provides a visual representation of the distribution of the data, showing its probability density at different values.
Thus, a Violin Plot is perfect for showing flows and relationships in your data. Whether you're analyzing customer journeys, resource allocations, or any process with inputs and outputs, this chart type makes complex information easy to understand.
The Violin Plot is just one of many advanced charts you can create effortlessly with Datastripes and that are hard to build in Excel: discover more of those underrated chart types and how to create them in our blog series.
