Helper IVHistogram custom bins
Hi, Kumar11109
There will be a menu when you click “1”, choose “New Group”, then you can see scene “6”. Let Group type be “Bin”, then choose Bin size as 2. As you can see the data in “5”, all the data group by 2 or whatever you want (>2, 2-4, 4-6 , 6-8).
Ps: 1. The axis and the value are the same column “Total Time Spent”.2. Reference: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-desktop-grouping-and-binning/

Hi, Kumar11109
Don't you want to create bins? Bins is a kind of group. Such as 0-2, 2-4, 4-6... You can see the "Group Type" is "Bin". If not so, please clarify your needs. Like what the histogram is.

I was able to create a histogram with the process that you said. But there is another problem that I am facing. There are multiple sessions. I am attaching an image of an excel. You can see below that for each session that students have seen multiple resources. And for each resource, there is time spent given in column 3. Now in the 4th column each for each session there is total time, which is the sum of time spent on each resource. Now with your method, the time spent is taking the duplicate values of each session and not removing them. Keep one thing in mind that I don't want to remove the duplicate values because I would require them for different calculations.
Thank you for your help!!! :-D

I used this method only to create groups. But rather than doing it in the same table that had all the data, I created another table using the function "Summarise". That helped me get only the data that I required for the table. Then method worked. Remember I wanted time spent for each session, and my original table had multiple values consisted of multiple values as each session consisted of multiple resources being watched in a session. I created another table with session id with total time spent on all the resources being watched in that specific session.
Thank You,
Dale
