Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Agree with @ValtteriN . 

 

Based on my test, currently there is no option for Conditional formtting in Waterfall chart, please choose color in Format pane as shown below:

Hi,

What kind of error are you getting and where are you trying to add the measure?

Anyway, as far as I am aware you can't apply color formatting via measure to the default waterfall chart. If you want to have that functionality in a waterfall chart I would look into custom visuals or as another option I would consider whether or not the data can be displayed in a another format.
