The option to create bins is available for which type of field?

Question

Options

• ABoolean
• BNumeric
• CDate
• DString

• A
  4% (2)
• B
  92% (45)
• C
  2% (1)
• D
  2% (1)

Explanation

Binning groups continuous numeric values into ranges (e.g., ages 0–18, 19–35, 36–60), which only makes mathematical sense for Numeric fields - you need ordered, quantifiable data to define meaningful intervals, making B correct.

Why the others are wrong:

• A (Boolean): Has only two states (true/false) - no range to divide.
• C (Date): While dates have order, most tools treat date grouping as a separate "date part" or "truncation" operation, not binning.
• D (String): Categorical text has no inherent numeric scale, so intervals are undefined.

Memory tip: Think of a bin as a bucket on a number line - you can only place items on a line if they have a numeric position, so bins = numbers.
