Change group source column

Hello,

I created a group from a source column and I'd like to know if there is a way to change the source column of my group.

 

Example:

Source ASource BGroup
AA 
BA 
CB 
AB 
BC 
CC 
AA 
BA 
AB 

 

My Group column grouping is originally based on column A.

I'd like to modify my Group column source so it becomes based on column B.

 

The reason is because my Group column is used in dozens of tables and graphs, in a dozen of pages. And if I create a new Group colunm based on column B I will have to manually modify all the tables and graphs already created !

 

Thanks for any help you can provide,

Toftaf.

Hi @Anonymous 

 

After my testing, PowerBI does not currently support changing this Field. But I think your idea makes sense and you can submit an idea for it at: Home (microsoft.com) and wait for users with the same needs as you to vote for you to help make it happen as soon as possible.

 

Hopefully this will be possible in a future release.

Please provide example sof what you have now and what you want as a result.

Hello Philip,

Thanks for your answer.

I created the example below to try to give a better understanding.

Basically the question is: Is it possible somehow to change the "Field" of a group after the group is done ?
