Grouping Categories

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone,

I am designing a pie chart that the categorical field has a lot of values which makes the chart to be clustered. I am thinking creating a new column that will group any category that has more than 100 as "Others" in the chart.

Hi, @Anonymous 

Based on your description, I created data to reproduce your scenario. The pbix file is attached in the end.

Table:

You may create a conditional column in 'Query Editor' or a calculated column in Power BI Desktop.

Conditional column:

Calculated column:

Calculated Column Group = 
IF(
    [Value]>=100,
    "Others",
    [Category]
)

Result:

Best Regards

I was able to use this to solve it but I ntoiced it does not work well with other filters in the report

Car Group = 
IF (
	CONTAINS ( 
		TOPN (
			10,
			SUMMARIZE ( 
				'Sales',
				[Name],
				"Total Sales",
				SUM ( 
				'Sales'[Amount]
				)
			),
			[Total Sales]
		),
		'Sales'[Name],
		'Sales'[Name]
	) = TRUE (),
	[Name],
	"Other Cars"
)

Hi @Anonymous 

use the new tool data groups. Select the column in data view, click on button Data groups > New data groups and play around the settings in the dialog.

Dailog: Groups

Can you share your .pbix file? Upload it to OneDrive or DropBox and share the link here.  You will need an additional table with the player names and an additonal row of "Other Players" then the measure is pretty straight forward.
