    Hi Moses_Lau ,

    Are there records distributed on either side of a multiple of 5? For example 13-17, 21-31. If so, how are they being considered for distribution?
    Does the actual data look like this and not contain 'days' or other text?

    Please try adding a custom column like:

    let
    a = Number.IntegerDivide(Number.From(Text.Start([Column1],1)),5)*5+1,
    b = Text.From(a)&"-"&Text.From(a+4)
    in 
    b



    Best Regards,
    Gao
