Group waterfall chart in category "Other"

Hi,
I have the following problem,
I need to group all the categories of the waterfall chart that are not in the 90% of the total value,
for example, I have the following data

Column 1Column 2
A10
A12
B15
C9
B8
B5
A4
C10
D2
E1
F1
G3
H1

The 90% of the Total (81) is 72.9, so only B, A and C should show as individual categories and G, D, E, F and H should show like "Other". Like this

Is there any way to do this without messing with de data?

Hi rodfernandez

 

I would approach this with a calculated column to identify if the category in column 1 of that record should be displayed as Other or the current category. so

Plot Type = if(calculate(sum(Table1[Column 2]),filter(Table1,Table1[Column 1] = earlier(Table1[Column 1]))) > sum(Table1[Column 2])*.1,[Column 1],"Other")

Then use Plot Type as the category for your waterfall chartWaterfall.PNGTable.PNG.

Microsoft should simplify the solution, lookerstudio is a good example of how to make things simpler and user friendly.
