I am trying to create a waterfall chart using Python. The data shows the financial movement over the year. I did not specify this but the Opening balance in January is £1000.
| 01/01/2020 | £45.00 |
| 01/02/2020 | £32.00 |
| 01/03/2020 | -£10.00 |
| 01/04/2020 | £34.00 |
| 01/05/2020 | -£30.00 |
| 01/06/2020 | £32.00 |
| 01/07/2020 | £11.00 |
| 01/08/2020 | -£4.00 |
| 01/09/2020 | £9.00 |
| 01/10/2020 | £70.00 |
| 01/11/2020 | £100.00 |
| 01/12/2020 | -£60.00 |
I'd like:
1. The bar displaying the opening balance to be black
2. The total at the end of the month to also be black
3. The positive movement to be green
4. The negative movement to be red
5. Data labels displaying the change if it's possible
An example of what I'm aiming for:
