Creating Bins

Bins convert continuous measures into discrete groups or ranges, enabling distribution analysis and histogram creation. They group numeric data into equal-sized intervals automatically or manually specified. Bins are essential for frequency analysis, data distribution visualization, and simplifying continuous data. They create categorical versions of numeric fields.

To create a Bin, perform the following steps.

1. Create a calculated field. Name the calculated field as Sales by CustomerID. For example, {FIXED [CustomerID]: SUM ([Sum Sales])}

2. Right-click Sales by CustomerID in the Data pane and select Create > Bins.

   Open

   

3. Enter the required bin size in the Create Bins dialog box, as shown in the following figure.
