Histogram

hi all

 

I have 1400 rows containing a department time in days. I would like to have a histogram that divides in groups of 30 days. (0 to 1 months, 1 to 2 months) etc.

 

Once it reaches 8 months, it should be grouped by 8 or more months.

 

I used the histogram of power bi but is very slow and very limited as the data gets bigger.

 

Here is the excel

Column J contains the department time.

 

Thanks all!

Hi o59393,

If you want to set month which >8  as a group, you could try to achieve this by add a column like below by M code

= Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each if Date.Month([Process Termination])>8 or [Process Termination] =null then ">8" else Date.Month([Process Termination]))

Then use this in chart axis.

hi dax

 

Is there a way to create a dax formula without using M code? It's ok if it without the >8, it can be in groups by 30 days.

 

Thanks!

Hi o59393,

I am not clear about your requirement, did you want to create a column which like below?

Column = ROUND(report1576508921493[Department Time]/30,0)

Sorry for not being clear.

 

I created the histogram in excel witht the department times. As you see there grouped in 30 days. This is what I would like to have in power bi. But instead of showing 30 to 60 days, to show 1 to 2 months, 2 to 3 months, etc.
