Which action should a business analyst take to configure a custom box plot using provided formulas?

To configure a custom box plot using provided formulas, disabling the "Use presets" option and entering the formulas in the expressions field allows for greater customization and accuracy in the analysis. By turning off presets, the business analyst gains the flexibility to input specific calculations or expressions that align with the data analysis needs. This approach ensures that the box plot reflects the precise metrics that the analyst is interested in, rather than relying on default settings that may not adequately represent the intended insights.

Choosing to input formulas directly in the expressions field also allows the analyst to leverage the full capability of Qlik Sense's formula editor. This can include advanced functions or custom aggregations that might not be encapsulated in the default settings. Using customized formulas helps in gaining more meaningful and tailored visualizations that better serve the objectives of the analysis.

The other approaches could limit the analyst's ability to customize the box plot effectively. For instance, enabling presets and selecting default values could lead to a lack of specificity and accuracy in the plot. Inputting formulas directly onto the plot surface may not be supported by the platform and could lead to errors or unexpected results. Leaving everything as default without seeking clarification could result in missing opportunities for deeper insights that customized plots can provide.
