Is Clustering Dynamic?
I got my answer - it's not dynamic. I created a simple worksheet and changed the numbers to see if the cluster would change. It did not. Once the grouping is created, you will have to re-run "Automatically find clusters" again to create a new grouping. I wish it was automatic.
A workaround, for now, would be to use R or Python to create the clusters.
If it's Scatter Chart like below, it should be dynamic.

- Scatter chart itself is dynamic.. my question is about Clustering. In your chart, remove Color Name from the visual and then click on 'Automatic Clustering' by expanding the three dots (...) In the top right corner. It will identity clusters based on kmeans algorithm. My question is - the grouping that's created dynamic ? For example, in the initial Clustering power bill might put Azure, black and blue in one group because their values are close to each other. Let's call that group 1. Over a period of time, as the sales change, Blue takes off and the company sells lot of Blue widgets. Now it's no longer similar to blank and azure. Will Blue still stay in the group 1 or will it go to a different cluster and will be replaced by a different widget?
Thanks.
