Create a Histogram with More Buckets

Domo's histogram card currently only allows a maximum of 20 buckets which may not be enough. How do i create a histogram with 1000 buckets?

One way to do this is with the Width_bucket function in a beast mode. This function allows you to create custom buckets for your histogram.
For example,
WIDTH_BUCKET ( `mean`, 0, 60000, 4000 )
or
WIDTH_BUCKET ( `mycolumn`, histogram_min, histogram_max, Number_of_buckets )
Try this
- Create a new card and choose the normal vertica bar chart
- Create a new Beastmode, let's call it "Bucket".
-
WIDTH_BUCKET ( `mean`, 0, 60000, 4000 )
-
- On the Vertica bar chart
- X-axis
- =Bucket (this is the beast mode we just created)
- Y-axis
- Count of the mean
- This should be the count of the means
- Count of the mean
- Sorting
- =Bucket Ascending (No aggregation)
- X-axis
This should give you a nice histogram with however many buckets you need. See attached images for more context.
