Easiest way to create a binned histogram.

I have a table that has a column of values that range from, for example, -50% to +50%.

I want to be able to bin my data set so I can get a histogram in 5% increments.  i,e a bar chart that shows how many falls in the

[-999%,-50%, ],[-50%,-45%), [-45, -40%),.......[+50%,+999%]

Even in standard excel,  I only know how to do this with a "CountIf" statement.  However, this is something that i do every regularly, so I"m wondering if there is actually an easier way to do this than always typing it up.

 

If there is, is there  way to do this in PowerBI?  I want to easily bin my data in 5% increments, but not have to type up a formula every single time.

 

Thanks!

There is a custom visual that will do that https://appsource.microsoft.com/en-us/product/power-bi-visuals/WA104380776?src=office

I will not give you bad advice, even if you unknowingly ask for it.

Microsoft Histogram is not available anymore. There are other custom visuals available for Histogram in appsource now.
