Categorize data based on column value

Hi, 

 

Kinda simple question but i just cant figure out how to achieve it. Basicly my data looks like following: 

Date - Denomination - Quantity - X - Y - Z

I want to group the data so that all rows where denomination is same is grouped togeter. Bellow is image from Apple Numbers that achieves just that: 

 

I assume that similar grouping would be possible in PowerBi but just cant make it happen. I tried to select the "Denomination" column and create new group but the end result just gives me all individual rows:

 

Thanks,

-Carl

    Hi Anonymous 

     

    It seems the data in Denomination count column is text type, please change it to number related type.

    Then use “New group”, you’ll get the categorized data:

    If you’d like to calculate the Denomination counts by Denomination groups. Please add the below measure:

    Measure = CALCULATE(SUM(Table1[Denomination. Count]),ALLEXCEPT(Table1,Table1[Denomination]))

    Best regards,
