Creating Dynamic Groups

I have line level data of production and productivity %. I want to aggregate the productivity % at each level of selection. I am currently calculating manually at an employee MTD level using custom columns. I want to calculate this using DAX, any ideas?

The visual I am currently using is a donut chart where I aggregate users based on productivity level. 0-90%, 91-95%,96%-100% and >100%. I am using MTD aggregation using custom columns and I'm able to acheive this. I'm trying to do the same calculation dynamically. If I choose my location as australia, I want the number of users to reflect only for australia, if I make any changes to time period I want it to calculate only for that period. Visual.PNG

 I want to apologize that I did not include in the original post.

Try creating a new Groups table to use for your groups.

Then you can define a measure to bucket the table rows into these groups:

GroupCount =
VAR Low  = SELECTEDVALUE ( Groups[Low] )
VAR High = SELECTEDVALUE ( Groups[High] )
RETURN
    COUNTROWS (
        FILTER (
            Prod,
            Prod[Productivity %] >= Low
                && ( Prod[Productivity %] < High || ISBLANK ( High ) )
        )
    )

Sorry for the delayed response. In my case count rows does not work as I want distinct count of Employee Name. Since Filter evaluates at a row level, the same employee is part of multiple bins. Any way to counter this?

Try this:

GroupCount =
VAR Low  = SELECTEDVALUE ( Groups[Low] )
VAR High = SELECTEDVALUE ( Groups[High] )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        DISTINCTCOUNT ( Prod[Employee Name] ),
        FILTER (
            Prod,
            Prod[Productivity %] >= Low
                && ( Prod[Productivity %] < High || ISBLANK ( High ) )
        )
    )

I tried this one and it does not work. Just give me a couple of days, and I will create a pbix file with the problem and desired solution. My explanation using text is very poor. Thanks for the continued support.

Can you specify what the end result should look like?
