I've a set of data consisting of events and their duration. I would like to find a way to bin these in order to create a histogram, so we can see the spread of duration. I would need to be able to control the bin size exacrtly, and they may not be equal in size.
I've spend some time looking for a solution, but as it's not a continuous measure, and as I need bin sizes to be defined by me and not equal, I'm at a loss.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Duration, by definition, is a continuous measure. The fact that you have a number classified as a string is what's blocking you. If you right-click and change the data type to numeric, then you can classify each value however you want. You can right click and choose "Create -> Bins", but these are all of equal size. To get varied sizes you'll need to create a calculated field:
