Configuring Basic Options

  1. Select whether you want to perform an equal-range or equal-population Binning style.
  2. Select in Null value bin how you want to handle empty bin fields, which represent unknown values due to missing data.
    • Select Highest to assign null values to the highest bin.
    • Select Lowest to assign null values to the lowest bin.
    The lowest bin is always bin 1.
  3. Click Target internal bins and enter the number of bins you want to fill between the end bins.
    If you are performing equal-range binning, you may select this type of processing or Bin width, but not both. If you are performing equal-population binning, you may only perform internal-bin processing.
  4. If you are performing equal-range binning and want to select this type of processing rather than internal-bin processing, click Bin width and enter the number of units you want in each bin.
  5. Click Include for each field whose data you want included in binning.
    Note: Only numeric fields will appear in this list.
  6. Click OK to save your settings.
