Are ranges (such as in a pie chart) inclusive? In the Kibana tutorial ([https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/4.1/tutorial-visualizing.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/4.1/tutorial-visualizing.html)), ranges are specified between 1000 and 3000, and 3000 and 7000. Are both ranges counting values that might be 3000 exactly? Or are both ranges discounting it? If I only want my data to fall into one range, should I do 1000 to 3000, and then 3001 to 7000, and then 7001 to 10000, etc?

You'll want to do the latter, as the former is inclusive.

That's the behavior I expected, but since the tutorial suggested it for a pie chart, I became a bit unsure of how Kibana treated ranges in this instance. Thank you for clarifying.

Thanks for pointing that out, I have raised an issue to get it fixed 😄
