How to fix this error?

Correct the interval so that the lower limit is smaller than the upper
limit (for example, 8 and 10, not 10 and 8; A and D, not D and A).
If you have defined an interval with an identical lower limit and upper
limit, delete the interval and create the value as a single value.
