Comparing Scenarios in a Waterfall

I would like to have a waterfall that is able to use a switch in order to be dynamic with different scenarios that my end user would like to see.

 

I am new to this visual and am having issues getting it to show anything that I want besides a CY to PY bridge. I have attached a sample of what my data looks like and a couple examples of what waterfalls I would need. 

 

Any help with the basics is welcome. I specifically cannot seem to get to the CY vs Budget view attached. I probabyl need to nail that down first, and then add in switches.

Follow this video and you will be good as far as dynamic measures are concerned.

 Let me know if this doesnt solve your problem. 

Thank you for the response. I am familiar with using switch functions from a table. This works in making the values dynamic in other visuals, but the waterfall visual seems to be more limited in what you can show. I first need to solve my initial issue of not being able to get to the CY v Budget view at all.
