Movement in Water fall chart Help

Hi, I have two quarters data.

 

2015 Q 4 and 2016 Q1 data.

The sales is 1000 dollars in Q4. and the 2016 Q1 data also shows 1000 dollars which basically encompasses the 1000 dollars of 2015 Q4.

 

I want a water fall chart which shows 1000 dollars in the first, then 0 dollars for the 2016 Q1 and the total as 1000 dollars.

When i apply the water fall chart it shows 1000 dollars as 1st, 10000 for second and 2000 as total which doesn't suit the movement logic.

 

Any help will be appreciated.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Based on my test, I could only do this:

Measure = 
VAR _curr =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table'[Value] ),
        FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[YearQuartre] = MAX ( 'Table'[YearQuartre] ) )
    )
VAR _pre =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table'[Value] ),
        FILTER (
            ALL ( 'Table' ),
            'Table'[YearQuartre]
                = MAXX (
                    FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table' ), [Date] < MAX ( 'Table'[Date] ) ),
                    [YearQuartre]
                )
        )
    )
RETURN
    IF (
        HASONEVALUE ( 'Table'[YearQuartre] ),
        _curr - _pre,
        SUM ( 'Table'[Value] )
    )

In this case, I suggest you import Simple Waterfall or Ultimate Waterfall Free 4.4.6 or Waterfall Cahrt by Visual BI visual like this:

Measure 2 = IF(MAX('Table'[YearQuartre])= MINX(ALL('Table'),[YearQuartre]),0,SUM('Table'[Value]))
