Field Icon Identification

[BekahLoSurdo]

Good Morning,

Does anyone know what this icon indicates (the first one in the list with the four squares)? I couldn't find it on https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-the-report-editor-take-a-tour#what-do-the-field-ic...

Thanks!

Hi @BekahLoSurdo ,

This is "Group" type. You can group a column using different categories in the front-end.

For my example, right click the Point A column, choose New Group, then change the Bin type to List, and group it by ddd,dddd,ddddd.

Please try.

Hi , @BekahLoSurdo 

This icon indicates that the field is created by “new group”.

You can follow  steps as below to create this field.

1)right click a field and click ‘new group’

2)choose the group type and the values you want group (use “ctrl” +click to choose values you want to group), then click “group”

You can also refer to this article and video for more related details:
