How to collapse Taxa bar plot?

[Jibda (Jibda del Pilar Carreño)]

Hi, everybody

I´m doing the taxonomy analysis, but I have a doubt.
The taxa bar plots represents all the samples (12), but the 12 samples actually are only 4 samples and its replicates.
And I want to collapse the total 12 samples that the plot shows in to the 4 different samples that actually exists.

I upload the file:slightly_smiling_face:.

Good afternoon,

Great question! If you would like to group these replicates together so you only see the 4 main group, you can use this qiime 2 plugin: group: Group samples or features by a metadata category — QIIME 2 2017.12.0 documentation

Let me know if that looks like the plugin will work for you

Hi, @colinbrislawn. It worked Thanks!.
This is the command line I used:

qiime feature-table group
--i-table table.qza
--p-axis sample
--m-metadata-file metadata.tsv
--m-metadata-category "Description"
--p-mode mean-ceiling
--o-grouped-table grouped-table.qza

"Description" is the category I want to join the samples.
I´m just post this for the other people with the same doubt
