Help with simple waterfall chart

Hi Im trying to create what I thought was a pretty simple waterfall chart but I cant quite get it to turn out how Id like.

 

I have my 2020 budget and then a series of revenue iniatives that get me to a proposed 2021 number:

 

2020 Budget $        1,000,000
Revenue Iniative 1 $            500,000
Revenue Iniative 2 $            200,000
Revenue Iniative 3 $              50,000
Revenue Iniative 4 $            300,000
Revenue Iniative 5 $            250,000
2021 $        2,300,000

 

When I drop this data into POwer BI and create my waterfall, it shows the 2020 Budget as a movement. Is there are way to show it as a starting point with the revenue iniatives building up to the 2021 ending point?

 

Thanks!

    Using this type of data place the Category column on the Category, Y Axis Values. Then filter out the 2021 value and sort the information ascending by the Category column should give expected result:

      Thank you, is there a way to change the Total to show as 2021?
