To create a histogram over aggregated values:

Assume: Create a histogram using the sum of sales by CustomerID.

1. Create a calculated field. Name the calculated field as Sales by CustomerID.

   ^{Example: {FIXED [CustomerID]: SUM ([Sum Sales])}}

2. Right-click Sales by CustomerID in the data pane and select Create > Bins

   

3. Enter the required bin size in the Create Bins dialog box, as shown in the following figure.

   

4. Drag Sales by CustomerID (bin) and SUM (Sum Sales) to visualization area.
