Description
in the New Data Table Wizard
in Define Attribute or Column
for Category
Relative (statistically interval) shows an example in meters.
This is wrong.
The Help box explains that meters are in the Absolute category (statistically ratio).
Perhaps a better example unit for the Relative category would be Celsius.
