Histogram buckets and data limit

Is there a setting for the bucket size or count with histograms? I don't see one. If not, I'd be looking for the next easiest alternative to simulating buckets with Astrato.

Also, I see that there's a limit to 100,000 values making it into the histogram. Is this related to the buckets? A lot of the data is being cut off (there are many values > 32,000).

Thanks!

    Got it —> you have to go back to the data view editor and add a new dimension for the purpose of a histogram that sorts the data into buckets.

    Go to add a dimension —> width bucket —> link it to your field, and configure.

    Note: if you set the max value to something lower than the max value that appears in your data set, you have to check the box "include out of range buckets," which lumps everything greater in its own bucket. Vice-versa for min. The histogram will appear broken if you don't check that box.
