    Hi OH,

    Based on my test, you could refer to below steps:

    Sample data:

    Create a calculated column:

    Type = IF('Table1'[Value]<=0.1,1,
         IF('Table1'[Value]<=0.2,2,
         IF('Table1'[Value]<=0.5,3,
         IF('Table1'[Value]<=1,4))))

    IF you want to adapt to the other column, just modify the column name in the formula(see the [Value] changed to the [Length]).

    Type2 = IF('Table1'[Length]<=0.1,1,
         IF('Table1'[Length]<=0.2,2,
         IF('Table1'[Length]<=0.5,3,
         IF('Table1'[Length]<=1,4))))

    You can also download the PBIX file to have a view.

Hello Daniel

 

Thank you as well for the explanations. Someone else has already answered my other post but you open another way of solution.

I will try both and see what is easier.

 

Best regards

Olaf
