Creating Groups Hangs
All,
I think I have figured it out. I was adding single data points so that I could use the Other Checkbox option and did not want some data points to be automatically placed in "Other", but I did not want to group with other datapoints. I was also trying to "relabel" some of these data points without changing to backend data, duplicating a column with a different header, etc. After grouped all the items I wanted in Other by my own group name of other, leaving the single items to stay the way they were, it is working without issues.
blindeye and Anonymous, I am note sure if this is why you are also facing this issue, but so far everything is good as long as each group as at least two items.

All of my groups have at least two items, however, I am still experiencing the same issue. I am not sure if this can be the solution to this problem.
Jamie,
I also found that I had to do it one group at a time, saving the work and then going back in. I also found that if I added an item to a group, removed it and added it to another group within one "edit" session, it would hang. I worked with Microsoft for over an hour and we never could get it to break while on Skype session with them; however, I think there are still so issues and they were going to be reviewing in lab.

Happened to me many times. Found that when editing groups, make sure that you do not have any other PBIX file open except the one you are working on. Was advised so by MS support. When applying this method I experience no crashes.
Thanks for sharing the information. By the way, to help close this thread, you may just accept the solution above. Your contribution is highly appreciated.
