Valua Distribution

Hi Guys

When I run a Value Distribution analyser on a column with mobile numbers it returns with the Values and Count(*).
Why does it returns some values as <count=36>, <count=[24-24]> and in some cases it returns the value as the correct mobile number with the correct count? Is there a way that I can display the mobile number with the count(*) for that number?
Also if I click on the Count(*) heading to sort the output by counts, it doesn't display in the correct sort order even though I have set the taskrunner as single threaded (<singlethreaded-taskrunner />).

Kind Regards
Wayne

Hi Wayne,

The reason that these "similar count" groups appear is to avoid flooding the user interface with a potentially looooong list of values. Instead some groups are displayed that you can drill into to get more details. I guess the idea is that the groups will give you an overview of the amount of repetition in your data. Eg. if you have a lot of "count=2" then it means there's a lot of duplicates.
