Dynamically grouping table based on user input

Anonymous — Thu, 16 Feb 2023 21:07:38 GMT

Say you have a table like the below where max margin and min margin represent the max and min of margin within the existing table:

Country	Margin	Max Margin	Min Margin
Germany	50	80	40
UK	70	80	40
USA	80	80	40
Japan	55	80	40
China	40	80	40

Is there a way to allow users to create some kind of grouping, like the "Region" column below, where max and min margin now calculate within the group?

Country	Region	Margin	Max Margin	Min Margin
Germany	1	50	70	50
UK	1	70	70	50
USA	2	80	80	80
Japan	3	55	55	40
China	3	40	55	40

Max Margin=CALCULATE(MAX(Table[Margin]),ALL(Table[Country]))

Min Margin=CALCULATE(MIN(Table[Margin]),ALL(Table[Country]))

Hi,

Please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.

It is for creating new columns in the table.

Hi Anonymous
This is one simplified example. In real case you would need to add more conditions inside the SWITCH statement.

Please refer to attached sample file with the proposed solution

I probably should've been more clear, the Region grouping does not exist in the source data. They want to be able to assign the groupings on their own and then have the calculations change.

Unfortunately, Power Bi does no have artificial intelligence features at least for now.
