Field Icon Identification

Good Morning,

Does anyone know what this icon indicates (the first one in the list with the four squares)? I couldn't find it on https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-the-report-editor-take-a-tour#what-do-the-field-ic...

Hi @BekahLoSurdo ,

 

This is "Group" type. You can group a column using different categories in the front-end.

 

For my example, right click the Point A column, choose New Group, then change the Bin type to List, and group it by ddd,dddd,ddddd.

Please try.
