Origin Ver. and Service Release (Select Help-->About Origin): OriginPro 2025 (64-bit) SR1
Operating System: Win11
The frequency count feature is one of my most regularly used features and I find it superuseful.
However, I recently used frequency count (mark column -> right click -> frequency count) where the x-column is set to date.
It generates the expected statistical frequency information, however, the generated date bins are off by two days.
For example, the frequency count statistics show that a certain event happened 28-times on the day June, 2 (class starts at June 2 12:00 and goes to June 3 12:00).
Looking into the actual data (that is the basis for the frequency count) this is not correct as the day where this event happened 28-times is actually June 1 at 06:47 which is the May 31 class (that begins on May 31 12:00 and ends on June 1 12:00).
Please advise how I can fix this, thanks!! |

Hi,
This seems to be a bug.
For now, I've extracted the date portion from the column and reproduced the correct frequency bins.
Please see attached.
These are the steps for reproducing:
1. Right click and select Properties
2. Select Date under Options -> Format
3. Select Custom Display under Display and enter dd.MM.yyyy HH':'mm':'ss'.'###
4. Click OK
5. Enter =int(col(A)) under the F(x)= designation in column B
6. Right click and select Properties
7. Select Date under Options -> Format
8. Select Custom Display under Display and enter dd.MM.yyyy
Thanks,
Nadeesha |

Hi,
many thanks for looking into this!!
Thank you also very much for your work-around - it helps a bit to mitigate the issue, but plotting is consequently painful (as it's no longer a real date but treated as text).
Thanks, Hannes
EDIT: found a solution also for that, so all good now - thank you! |
