The easiest way is to use a custom column. The Conditional Column feature won't work as it will try to interpret 6-10 as a date. 

 

The formula would look like this:

 

if [Age] <= 2 then "0-2" 
else if [Age] <= 5 then "3-5" 
else if [Age] <= 10 then "6-10" 
else null

 

Just continue adding more 'else if' clauses until you have it like you want. You must include the final "else" statement, so it could be else null, or your final result, else "N/A"
