Can you group by a Text Mode Column in a report?

Good afternoon,

I was wondering if there was a way to group a report by a Text Mode Column.

I have a report that Text Mode to display if a task is On Time or Late based on the completion date:

displayname=On Time

textmode=true

valueexpression=IF({actualCompletionDate}<={plannedCompletionDate},"On Time",IF({actualCompletionDate}<={handoffDate},"On Time","Late"))

valueformat=

I would love to get this into a graph that would show the completion date and then split ones that were completed on that day based on if they were on time or late. But I am not able to select that custom column as a grouping. Just trying to avoid having to export into excel to sort them all the time.

Thank you,

Kristina

    Yes, you would just rewrite your expression as a formula when building a calculated field, like so:

    IF(Actual Completion Date<=Planned Completion Date, "On Time", IF(Actual Completion Date<=Handoff Date, "On Time", "Late"))

    Unfortunately grouping and charts can only be done if you create a calculated field on that object.

      Is there a way to get the same result as I have above where it says if it is On Time or Late through a calculated field?
