Thanks bro! It helped me a lot. When we look at a histogram, we can see the frequency of some measure, the x axis represents a class, and y axis represents the frequency of some phenom have occured.
A histogram is similar to a bar chart, but shows the number of items that fall into a particular range of a continuous variable. In this case, we count the number of records that fall into each different MPG bin. MPG is a continuous variable, which is why we create bins as the first step. Also note, once we create the bins, the icon for the field is a little histogram looking thing. :) In Tableau, you create a bar chart and histogram in a similar way. The key is having a binned continuous variable on one shelf, and (either) the number of records or some sort of count of items on the other shelf.
Can't tell you how helpful these are! Question... how would you apply the range of values to another measure on a dashboard? Im buildng a associate productivity dashboard and am stuggling a bit. Anyhoo, thanks!
This is not a histogram mate, its a bar chart. Histogram only has a count on y axis, so you basically need a single variable. If you're plotting two variables that's already a bar graph.
This is a histogram. A histogram is a bar chart with the counts broken into bins. The values on the x-axis are the bin sizes, which he explains at 1:00.

easy and simpler explanation. Thanks for sharing
What you demonstrated was BAR graph. I was looking for the histogram. Google says both are not same by definition. Could you comment on this

This isn't a histogram mate, it's a Barchart
