I have the same issue.. Power Bi makes the simplest tasks inexplicably complicated. I would encourage everyone on these forums to migrate to Tableau.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

From the screenshot you provided, I guess that your connection mode is Live Connect.

"Group" will generate a new calculated column in the data table, which cannot be achieved in DQ/LC connection mode.

Click on the Country column from the Fields pane, you will see New Group as the last option.

This opens up the dialog box to group the values.

 

Can you give more information on the column or the data? Are you using the latest version?

Hi @Anonymous 

Please update the version to the lastest one (October 2019 Update (2.74.5619.621))

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-latest-update

 

As tested, we can't find "new group" feature in Power BI Service.

Hi @Anonymous 

When you select from the field, you can see "new group".

As tested, when we right click on bar charts, we can group data in this way

But there is no "group data" for items in a table visual.

sorry still no "new group" from the selection...

I am wondering if I am using the trail version or not...

Hi, I have the same issue having the group function greyed out in the charts and in the field list as well. I have the latest Power BI Desktop (March 2020).

Janos

I have same issue, not sure if it's because i'm using Publised dataset.... any idea?
