The histogram visual was a great start, but to use it effectively we need to be able to control the parameters (starting value, bin widths/ranges, etc.). I find myself using custom code to manage this far more than I'd like to. Can we get this built-in to the histogram visual?

Agree. We often need to group numeric variables into custom groups based on unequal ranges, e.g. Income 30000. It is not ideal to use nested IFs to create such groups. In addition, it would be helpful to be able to join to a table or use some other kind of template file that would define the customized groups that are being used within the company or analytics space.

It would also be useful to a a cumulative line, this is currently possible but very cumbersome.
