  • Dataset: In he PUMS dataset, education is represented by an integer between 1 and 16.
  • Page: Confirm Variables
  • Action: Change education Type to Categorical and manually enter the categories
  • Error: The categories are captured as a strings instead of integers. When a statistic is run, say a histogram--the calculation or result fails. For example, a histogram puts all values in the "uncategorized" bin
