There's also the Switch function which allows you to group by ranges, like
this...

Data Range: Switch([SomeDataValue]>8,"a) > 8",[SomeDataValue]>=5,"b) >= 5
and <= 8",[SomeDataValue]>=2,"c) >= 2 and < 5",[SomeDataValue]<2,"d) < 2")

In effect  Switch is like "convoluted IIF statements", but without the
convolutions! :-) Note that the order of the various comparisons in the
statement is significant as Switch stops at the first condition that
evaluates to True.

An advantage over Partition is that you can define the groupings arbitrarily
instead of them being equal groups of size "interval".
