Microsoft Excel Tutorial: Creating Stratifications with a Pivot Table
Yesterday, in episode 2101, used automatic grouping
That forces all buckets to be the same size - $10K in yesterday's example
To create buckets of varying sizes, there are two options:
Select a manual group and choose Group
Use a Lookup table to apply a category and add that to the pivot table

Welcome back to the MrExcel netcast! In this episode, we will be discussing varied bucket sizes in Excel. In our previous episode, we showed how to create stratifications using automatic grouping. However, one of our viewers, Adam, pointed out that it is possible to have different bucket sizes. So, in today's episode, we will explore how to manually set up varied bucket sizes in Excel.

To begin, we will select a cell and go to the Analyze tab. From there, we will ungroup the data and then select all the items that should be in the first bucket. In this example, we will select everything up to 10,000 and then use the "Group Selection" option to make all of those items part of Group 1. We will repeat this process for the remaining buckets, selecting the appropriate range and using the "Group Selection" option. Finally, we will group all the million-dollar orders into a single selection.

While this method works, it can be a bit of a hassle to go through each selection manually. As an alternative, we can create a lookup table and use the VLOOKUP function to categorize the data. This method involves sorting the lookup table and using the "TRUE" option for an exact match. We can then insert a pivot table and use the lookup table to categorize the data into different bucket sizes.

All of these topics, including manual grouping and using a lookup table, are covered in detail in our book, "Power Excel with MrExcel." You can find a link to the book in the top right-hand corner of this video. In summary, to create varied bucket sizes in Excel, you can either manually group the data or use a lookup table to categorize it. Thank you to Adam for the idea and thank you for watching. We'll see you next time for another netcast from MrExcel.
