Summarise measure values by groups

I'm still very new to Power BI and learning as quickly as possible, but this is something I'm struggling to get my head around. I have a measure on a table that gives values ranging from -100 to 100 in increments of 10, for example:

 

-10
30
50
-80
30
90
10

 

I would like to summarise the number of times each measure occurs in a table like so:

 

-100 
-90 
-801
-70 
-60 
-50 
-40 
-30 
-20 
-101
0 
101
20 
302
40 
501
60 
70 
80 
901
100 

 

I'm not too sure how to achieve this, and really struggling to find similar solutions.

    First create a numeric parameter to store the possible values of the measure, ranging from -100 to 100 with an increment of 10. Untick the option to add a slicer to the page, as you won't need it.

    Next you need to understand which tables and columns you are summarizing the measure by. For the sake of example I will summarize the Sales table by product category and month.

    Create a measure like

    Num occurences =
VAR CurrentValue = [Parameter Value]
VAR SummaryTable =
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        SUMMARIZE ( Sales, 'Date'[Year month], 'Product'[Category] ),
        "@num", [Measure you want to count]
    )
VAR Result =
    COUNTROWS ( FILTER ( SummaryTable, [@num] = CurrentValue ) )
RETURN
    Result

    Finally, create a visual using the parameter table you created and the new measure.
