Displaying integer data with events marked on a timeline

I have data like the following table:

I want to display the increasing data values by showing the difference on a Waterfall chart across x-axis time. I also want the graph to indicate the events at the proper times when they have occured. Is this possible in PowerBI? Please help if it can be done. I can't seem to find any chart type in PowerBI desktop that supports this.

    How about this set up? Its a bit different but... Why do you have separate rows for the Events?

      Thanks Sean for replying. I have come up with the same solution but it does not look neat (its kinda a hack). Is there any way to overlay two types of data on a single chart with common x-axis? Also, if you notice the total is wrong since it takes dummy event data into account. Is it possible to remove the total at the end from the chart?

        Can you post an example of what you expect the result to look like?

         

        I agree about the Total - I wish there was an On/Off switch for it.
