How does that sound to you? | |

I'll try to cook up something more advanced, because my early efforts are trying to work around via Field Calculator. Knowing that it can be done is encouraging. Thank you. | |

Unfortunately, in order to prevent GIS SE from devolving into a "code this for me" haven, we have the expectation that coding questions provide a best effort attempt to code a solution. A two dimensional binning algorithm is not beyond anyone's grasp. | |
