Data Range Grouping

I would like to take shipment weights and break them down into weight ranges (ex. 0 - 5, 5 -10, 10-20, etc).  I tried the Groups function, but I would have to update that everytime my data was refreshed with new data due to new shipment weights being added.  Is there a recommended formula that could be used that would allow the shipment weight to be grouped into these weight ranges i provided earlier and update as my data is refreshed? Thanks.

Thanks for the recommendation. I have had a chance to test it out. As soon as I do I will let you know if it works.

I would just add a calculated column "Weight Bucket".  There are a few ways to do this (eg, you could have a separate table that controls the buckets and lookup into it)  or whatever, that has the formula (something like)

  Bucket = SWITCH( TRUE(),
    [Weight] <= 5, "0-5",
    [Weight] <= 10, "5-10",
    ...
    [Weight] <= 100, "80-100",
    "Real Heavy"
  )
