Make a Reverse Waterfall (Start from Total)

Hi

I'm looking to create a waterfall Chart that Starts with the Total and then drops off numbers at each subsequent step along the way to the end.

 

This is what I'm getting

 

WFChart_Now.PNG

 

This is what I need

 

WFChart_Needed.PNG

 

So it should start with a total of 7000, then at each step, lost x% or xnumber ( I can sort out if it has to be a number or %age)

 

I've tried all 5 custom visuals avaialble. None of them have this option.

 

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks @amitchandak 

 

I forgot to mention that I tried breakdown, it is not something that will help. Essentially it needs to be a clean waterfall. It seems Excel can do. Lol - lets go back to excel. 🙂

Anywho - the zoom waterfall may be the answer. I'll investigate and revert.

 

Thank you
