How to build a Waterfall Chart with multiple columns
Hello @DivyaAluri3
I have a test building a sample.
You must create two additional tables.
Category table:
Breakdown table:
My data table:
Build a measure:
Measure =
VAR _StartingHC = SUM('Table'[Starting HC])
VAR _External = SUM('Table'[External Hire])
VAR _Rehire = SUM('Table'[Rehire])
VAR _Transfersin = SUM('Table'[Transfers in])
VAR _TransferOut = SUM('Table'[Transfers Out])
VAR _Vol = SUM('Table'[Vol])
VAR _INV = SUM('Table'[Inv])
VAR _EndingHC = SUM('Table'[Ending HC])
Return
SWITCH (
SELECTEDVALUE (Category[CategorySort] ),
1, SWITCH (
SELECTEDVALUE (Breakdown[Breakdown] ),
"External Hire", -1*(_External-_StartingHC),
"Rehire",-1*(_Rehire-_External),
"Transfers Out",-1*(_TransferOut-_Transfersin),
"Vol",-1*(_Vol-_TransferOut),
"Inv",-1*(_INV-_Vol),
_StartingHC
),
2, SWITCH (
SELECTEDVALUE (Breakdown[Breakdown] ),
"External Hire", 0,
"Rehire",0,
"Transfers Out",0,
"Vol",0,
"Inv",0,
_EndingHC
)
)
Result:
It seems that the waterfall chart will not be sorted by breakdown now: Classification in the attribution distribution of the waterfall chart does not work

Hi, This is super helpful. Can you edit the measure or suggest how to approach the same if I have more than 2 categories. For example, the above, suppose there's a Mid HC and Starting Hire + External Hire +Rehire = Mid HC. Similarly Mid HC+ transfer out + vol + inv = End HC
