    Hi GTL ,

     

    According to your statement, I think you want to combine the data by group like escavators/dirt/dump truck and so on. 

     

    If the group in screenshot above is correct, I think you can remove [Equipment] in your table visual and then Power BI will summarize your data by group in [Dirt] column. Power BI will summarize data if all data are the same, so if you add [Equipment] column into your visual, it will be expanded.

     

    Here I am confused about whether "Escavtor" in "Escavator" group. If yes, it is hard for us to do in Power BI. I think you need to make sure each character contains the complete category word. Then we can use contain dax to create group column.

     

    Group =
    SWITCH (
        TRUE (),
        CONTAINSSTRING ( 'Table'[Equipment], "Escavator" ), "Escavator",
        CONTAINSSTRING ( 'Table'[Equipment], "Dump trucks" ), "Dump trucks",
        CONTAINSSTRING ( 'Table'[Equipment], "dirt" ), "Dirt",
        "Others"
    )
