Discretize Continuous Measures

Discretizing converts continuous measures into discrete bins or categories, changing axis display to headers. It groups numeric values into categories for filtering or grouping analysis. Discrete measures create discrete color legends and allow for different visualization approaches. Understanding discrete vs continuous is fundamental to controlling visualization behavior.

To convert continuous measures into discrete bins or categories, perform the following steps.

1. With OrderDate from Kyvos, drag "Sales" (continuous/green) to Columns.

2. Creates a continuous axis.

3. Right-click the "SUM(Sales)" pill.

4. Observe it's green (continuous).

5. Click the pill and select Discrete.

6. The pill turns blue. View changes from the axis to individual headers for each sales value.
