Assigning Customers to Quartile Groups , Customer Segmentation

Hi there!

 

I have a table of customers which I would like to segment into 4 groups, and I was hoping one of the experts here might be able to help!

 

As an example, my summarized table (grouped by customers, sum of quantity and margins) looks like this:

My
end result is to group each customer into 1 of 4 buckets:

- High Volume, High Margin

- High Volume, Low Margin

- Low Volume, High Margin

- Low Volume, Low Margin

Question: How can I create two quartile calculations, which segment each of the "Quantity" and "Gross Margin" fields into quartiles, so that I can compare the combination of results and bucket the customers into the 4 groups mentioned above?

 

Alternatively, is there any other way of achieving this without quartiles?

 

Any insights are greatly appreciated!

Hi @dishamishra,

 

For this I would try using the "Tile" tool in "Preparation". The "Smart Tile" function in this tool splits the data into different tiles (or groups) based on 3 levels of standard deviation.

- Here is a link to a demonstration on the Tile tool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DoBvoxFk5s

 

I hope this helps!
