Multiple columns with different data, different data grouping issue

In my previous post, I was dealing with 1 column and how the similar values in that 1 column will be grouped. 

 

With multiple columns, different data and how they will be grouped differently (default behavior) ... I am not sure how to describe this in the capabilities file. 

 

Thank you for the help!

@wellsayd,

 

As mentioned here, dataset owners have the option to set the default summarization for each field. If you are a dataset owner, change the default summarization in the Modeling tab of Power BI Desktop.
