Problem
When creating an “Equal Step” category, the process fails with the error “‘by’ argument is much too small.”
Cause
This error occurs when the “Step value” is set to an extremely small number relative to the data range.
Solution
-
Set an appropriate "Step value"
- Check the data range and set a step value that is appropriate for the data.
- For example, if the data range is 0 to 1,000,000, setting a step value as small as 1 may cause this error. Instead, choose a reasonable value (e.g., 50,000 or 100,000).
