Help to create MOM comparative waterfall chart

Hello all, firstly thanks for all your support.

 

I have a dataset (flat table format) which includes products, months and values. 

 

ie:    dataset.PNG

 

There are products that:

  1. change values month-over-month
  2. products that were available last month but are no longer available current month
  3. products that are available this month but were not last month.

 

ie:

pivot.PNG

 

 

from this data set, I would like to create a waterfall chart that shows the variation MOM by "variation type"

 

ie:

I'm attaching the example excel file... I'd REALLY appreciate your help on how to do this.

You can get it to work if you summarise your totals in a separate table then use this table to produce your waterfall - the total is automatic and will equal your August total.

Thanks, yet I'm trying to have a formulated approach for this instead of a summarized table since I would like to use "Product" as a 2nd level category within the waterfall to be able which products were the drivers of this MOM changes, if I do a summarized table then I would lose this possibility

I have to point out that's not what you originally asked for, and I don't think it's possible to produce a drillable waterfall chart in Power BI but happy to stand corrected.
