Age range inconsistencies

[brianjennett1]

If you try to set up a custom variable on age range in business analyst using the sliders or simply typing numbers, its unclear if you are specifying a band that includes the ages of the numbers you type, or something slightly less. In other words, if you specifying 0 to 18 yrs of age, by using 0 and 18 as the brackets, the data is automatically named "less than 18 yrs of age" (implying those age 18 are excluded). Its not clear if that is a mistake in the automatic naming convention, or if the sliders are just poorly explained. Does anyone know? The documentation doesn't specify.

Thank you for your question! We can see how this might not be clear. 

When you create a custom variable from ages 0 to 18, the variable incudes age 18. The naming convention is by design, but you could always rename it accordingly.

We will take this into consideration for future improvement.

Thanks,
