Centering a Stacked Column chart on above/below expectations

‎03-15-2023 02:21 PM

I've been working with PowerBI for about a day and I cannot figure out how to do what I need.  

It's a chart of achievement levels for students that are Below Expections, Near Expectations, At Expectations, or Above Expectations.

I want the columns to be zeroed so students that are below or near expectations are counted below zero, while the others are counted above zero.  Thank you in advance for any help.

I would probably manipulate the data by multiplying the 1 and 2 achievement levels by negative 1.

See attached PBIX.

KNP,

Your soultion was so quick and easy that I jumped on it.  Then I realized that I don't have a total column that I can negate.  I'm summing the records from a +-1,000,000 record database in PowerBI.  Eventually a user will be able to filter the chart by school, grade, test area (Math, Science, Language Arts), etc.  What I need to know is AFTER counting up the user requested records in PowerBI, THEN I need to negate the value for Levels 1 and 2.
