They are integers (if that matters) but when I try to use them in a Qgis (2.14.2-Essen) the styler recognises them as numeric but when I try to produce a graduated style all the classes are set to -<a href="tel:2147483648" value="+12147483648" target="_blank">2147483648</a> - -<a href="tel:2147483648" value="+12147483648" target="_blank">2147483648</a>. If I rename the attribute to 1980_inc or inc1980 the classifier is happy and everything works as I expect.<div><br></div><div>Does anyone know what might be going on?</div><span><font color="#888888"><div><br></div><div>Ian<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br clear="all"><div><br></div>-- <br><div>Ian Turton<br></div>
