User defined bins that applies current filter context

[Karl_Kvarfordh]

Hello!

I have a large model with invoices, spend, categories and supplier names etc.

I would like to create a stacked column chart where I can group the suppliers in user defined bins by spend. Such as 0-1000$, 1001-5000$ etc. Which bin the supplier gets should vary based on what spend that are currently filtered.

Right now I have tried to use a SWITCH function in a measure which defines the bins. Then I create a calculated column where I put this measure, giving each supplier a bin. The problem is that the result in this calculate column doesn’t change when I filter in the report, eg to a specific month or a category.

Does anyone have a tip or a solution to this problem? How do I make calculation of user defined bins that change in the current filter context?

I have tried many different ways via DAX but I can't get it to work properly.

Thanks in advance!

Thank you for your answer!

I was going to upload sample data and expected outcome today but now I found a solution on my own.

As you answered, I realized that and that there were no dax-workaround to make a calculated column out of a measure. 

The solution for me was to work out a way with a small separate table where I could put the user defined bins as a column (and then place it on category-level in a visual) and then work out the number of suppliers in each bins as a measure.

Pages like this helped me to build my solution:

"Then I create a calculated column where I put this measure"

As you have noticed - you cannot make a calculated column out of a measure. All your dynamic binning has to be entirely based on measures.
