Group By People/Group of SharePoint List

Hello,

 

I have a SharePoint List that has the People and/Group Column but its not giving me the option to Group By that column I'm assuming its because we have it set to enter multiple people/groups in that column.

 

Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can group the SharePoint list

  • That is correct, a column that allows multiple choices is not supported to be Grouped By.

    An option would be a flow that updates a single line of text column with the People details every time its edited. This would allow you to group by it if it's a critical requirement
