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-t...

    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.

    You can follow  steps as below to create this field.

    1)right click a field and click ‘new group’

    2)choose the group type and the values you want group (use “ctrl” +click to choose values you want to group), then click “group”
