How to create icicle charts(Rain drop charts) in power BI??

I dint get any custom charts where I can take date columns in both X and Y axis. So I have written R (used ggplot2 and lubridate libraries) codes to create that chart. But it's running in R studio and throwing error in power BI. 
I tried using python too, but that's throwing error in power BI.

If possible how can I create these Icicle charts in power Bi??

Hi there is a way to reverse the Y-Axis.

In the JSON section, under Y-Axis, change, "autorange" : "reversed", then ensure you hit save/load.

@KerKol Thanks!!

I tried plotly.js but there is no option to reverse y axis. If we take a look at that above chart, the data is flowing from top to bottom. In plotly.js by default it's taking y axis in descending order.

I will try this Deneb, hope that works.
