Often you want to split rows into consistent groups of equal size or range. For example, to create histograms, compare periods or view spread in data

Join this session to learn how you can use

NTILE to create groups with an equal number of rows
WIDTH_BUCKET to make each group cover an equal range of values
Formulas to define fixed ranges
