What is a violin chart?
A violin chart shows the spread of a distribution. This Excel version is a bubble chart styled to mimic a violin plot, showing the min/max spread of up to 10 categories at once.
Good to know: this is built as a reference file to study and customize, not a drag-and-drop template. You connect your own data and adjust it to fit — that's the point. You learn exactly how it's made.
