Hi Guys,

I would like help with creating a measure for the following data.
I would like to categorize the products as i did manually for Apples - I calculated the total volume for the product and divided it by 3. Then I would like to start summing from the lowest volume of Apples to the highest and group them in a category such that 1/3 of the total volume is Low, 1/3 - Medium and 1/3 High.


ProductVolumeVolume Category1/3 Volume
Apple1LowApple7,333333333

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
Try

in C2
=IF(SUMIFS(B$2:B2,A$2:A2,A2)>VLOOKUP(A2,E$2:F$4,2,0)*2,"High",IF(SUMIFS(B$2:B2,A$2:A2,A2)>VLOOKUP(A2,E$2:F$4,2,0),"Medium","Low"))

Hi there. I'm sure there will be other solutions, but try this.

I assume your data starts in A1, and that the name and 1/3 volume are in columns D and E - if not just adjust as necessary.
In E2 put: =SUMIF(A:A,D2,B:B)/3 and copy down. This will produce the 1/3 values.
In C2 put: =CHOOSE(INT(SUMIF(A$1:A2,A2,B$1:B2)/VLOOKUP(A2,D:E,2,FALSE))+1,"Low","Medium","High","High") and copy down.

This does a running total of the volumes and changes depending on whether the 1/3 or 2/3 threshold is exceeded.
