Turning metric values into buckets in Power bi


I have two columns of data like this: enter image description here

Now I want to turn tenure into buckets like this: enter image description here

I've searched but none of those works in Power bi. What should I do?


Solution

  • There is a very simple way to create groups and buckets. Simply right-click the field you want to group in the right bar and select "New group".

    However, I find it quite finicky to use with fixed sized bins.

    My preferred way it to simply create a new calculated column, using the SWITCH dax function:

    tenure_group = 
    VAR Val = Table[tenure]
    RETURN
    SWITCH(
        TRUE(),
        Val <= 5,
        "0-5 months",
        Val > 5 || Val <= 45,
        "6-45 months",
        Val > 45 || <= 69, 
        "46-69 months",
        "70+ months"
    )
