Creating Dynamic Groups

I'm trying to create custom groups of stores based on sales using an IF expression.  I want to be able to use these groups as a filter or in the axis of a chart, so I think that the groups have to be a column, not a measure.  The trouble is, I want to filter the data by a date range and geography, and if I create a column with an IF statement, it's static and cannot be filtered.  

 

Any suggestions?

Hi @Mainer04401 ,

In fact, calculated columns can also achieve dynamic effects.

Search for and select Groups. Select All groups, and select New group. On the Group page, enter a name and description for the new group. Select a Membership type for either users or devices and then select Add dynamic query.

Better create a column using if or switch true.
