We would love to have an option to have more group by option most especially for dropdown columns!

Board Grouping Compatible with Dropdown Label Column
2

This is so important. Even if it means limiting the dropdown to one option to begin with.
I have projects by sprint and want to group them according to the label we add to each sprint.
We had to change our dropdown to a status but we are running out of options to add to the statuses.

And we don’t want to change to text because requests come in through a form and we don’t want to have people putting in whatever text they want.

If it can be done for text, why can’t it be done for dropdown?

Hello!,
I am part of the Decadis team and I would like to recommend you our application, sumUp for monday

In particular, the section of the Group by widget. This widget can group key metrics and even calculate sums in an extra row at the bottom.

If you need assistance on how to use the application, please, feel free to create a request in our support portal , we will be happy to help you.

Best regards,
Nacho

Big +1! I’m coming from Airtable, and I’m greatly missing the grouping by dropdown capability. That’s one of the reasons I selected the Dropdown column type (to have more than one selection-otherwise, I’d use a status), so having to be limited to one dropdown selection is disappointing.
I even tried doing a tag column instead with multiples, and I’m not even seeing the option to group by tag at all.

Any update on the Group By Dropdown?

Hi @Majalin

Until this is supported natively, there are two practical options:

Option 1:
Create separate filtered views for each Dropdown value.
You can duplicate the board view and apply a filter for each specific dropdown selection. It’s not true “group by,” but it helps organize and review items by category.

Option 2:
Use Make to generate a grouped report.
With Make, you can trigger an automation (manually or on schedule) that:

  • Pulls all items

  • Groups them based on the Dropdown values

  • Generates a structured report (Google Doc, Sheet, PDF, etc.)

  • Shares it whenever needed

This way, even if the board view doesn’t support grouping by Dropdown, you can still get a clean grouped overview on demand.
