Help with weight break list

Hi everyone,

 

I have a column graph which contains gross mass on the Y-axis and months on the X-axis. What I am trying to do is have each bar show through colouring splitting how many tonnes are within different weight brackets. These are the different weight brackets:

 

Gross mass weight break
<=14
<=15
<=16
<=17
<=18
<=19
<=20
<=21
<=22
<=23
<=24
<=25
<=26
<=27
<=28
<=29
<=30

 

Normally I would just use an if function however there are 17 different weight brackets. Is there a more efficient way to do this within Power BI?

 

Thanks,

Are your weights in tonnes now?  IE, 13.52, 18.01 etc..., you might be able to use RoundDown since all of your buckets are a single tonne wide.  If you want to break it up by more than a single tonne, like 13-16, 17-20 etc... you could find an equation using MOD to determine remainder of a division problem.

 

You'd probably need to create a measure filterable by month, using a count of each bucket, then drag the month into Axis of a clustered bar chart.

 

EDIT:  You could also use a stacked bar, I suppose, though I think the clustered might give you more readable results.
