Using bin command can you put all values above a cutoff into the last bin?

I'm using the bin command to get a distribution of values, and each grouping is in increments of 10,000.
I have a few outliers way at the upper end, and I don't want to see all the empty buckets in the middle. Is it possible to put all values above a desingated cutoff value into the final bin?

Thanks,
Jonathan

Hello,

I have hit same problem with long tail in the graph. I have found solution with eval:

| bin span=100ms ProcessingTime **| bin span=100ms ProcessingTime | eval ProcessingTime=if(ProcessingTime > 2,"2.0+",round(ProcessingTime,1))** | chart count over ProcessingTime by ProcPhase

You will overwrite field whcih you used bin on by your condition. In my case, if processing time is more than 2s, it overwrite it with 2.0+ rounding to 1 decimal place is there also to ensure that values will remain in correct order in the graph.
