Creating a chart (Waterfall chart) using data from 2 different datasets
Hi there,
I'm pretty new to the Power BI functionalities so I apologize if this might be an easy solution. I'm currently trying to make a waterfall chart from 2 different datasets. Both datasets have measures that calculates the downtime kilograms lost (pounds lost measure= minutes * run rate) due to different reasons - One measure (left box) calculates and categorizes the pounds lost due to No demand (production plan) and the other one (right box) has kilograms lost due to various downtime reasons at the production line as shown below.
Whats the best way for me to connect both these measures into a single chart in a waterfall chart format?

Data is too scarce to repro the issue, based on my research, I am afraid the Water Fall chart may not support different measures, you could try to use the Ultimate Waterfall chart to have a try:

If there's a relationship between the 2 datasets, you might consider doing some power query and add the switch measure similar like:
