# BinFixed

The **BinFixed** function computes the bin for a value among the specified number of identically sized bins within the given bounds.

### Syntax

```
BinFixed(value, min, max, bins)
```

Function arguments:

* **value** (required): The value for which the bin is computed.
* **min** (required): The lower bound. If the value is less than min, the bin will be 0.
* **max** (required): If the value is greater than or equal to max, the bin will be bins + 1.
* **bins** (required): The number of bins within the interval. Bins are numbered 1 through bins. If bins is less than 1, all values will treated as belonging to bin 1.

### Example

The values in the *Days Since Signup* column are assigned to one of 5 bins:

```
BinFixed([Days Since Signup], 0, 90, 3)
```

This function places all numbers less than 0 in bin 0, all numbers 90 or greater in bin 4, and all numbers between 0 and 90 are assigned one of 3 equally sized bins.&#x20;

Using bins helps simplify a column to show the duration since the last signup:<br>
