Grouping in a pivot

Hello, I would like to group the data into ranges but when I follow the instruction I found on internet for grouping what happens is that all the values are grouped into a single group (as you can see in the screen). How can I select different ranges?

 

Thank you!

    One way would be to define the groups in an additional column in the source data.

    But you can also specify the groups in the pivot table itself:

     

    First, ungroup the row labels.

    Then select the values you want in the first group.

    Right-click in the selection and select Group... from the context menu.

    All values outside the selection will be in a group of their own.

    Select the ones you want to be in the second group, right-click and select Group...

    Repeat as long as needed.

      Hello Hans,

      thank you for the reply what I would like to have is to group the data into ranges. I have found on internet that if you right click on a cell then you should have a context menu and you should be able to define the range of values.

      However, when I follow the process I do not get the context menu and if I select all the values and I click group what I obtain is what you can see in the screenshot

        Have you tried selecting a single cell in he Row Labels area of the pivot table?

        You should get a context menu with Group... in it.

        Clicking Group... results in a dialog:

        If you don't see the context menu: which version of Excel do you use? The desktop version for Windows or Mac, or the online (browser) version, or the iOS/Android version?
