Select one of the following range calculation method from the drop-down list.

This method distributes a set of data into groups that contain an equal number of values. This method will never create empty classes or classes with too few or too many values.

Also referred to as natural breaks classification, this method is designed to determine the best arrangement of values into different classes. This is done by seeking to reduce the variance within classes and maximize the variance between classes.

This calculation method divides rows across ranges of equal size.

This measure is used to quantify the amount of variation or dispersion of a set of data values. Each range is defined against the average value, adding or subtracting a standard deviation value for each.

If you modify a range threshold manually, the calculation method automatically change to Custom.
