Waterfall Chart - Set as total

Excel has an option to set one or more series as a total in a waterfall chart.

I can't find the equivalent setting in Power BI, so I am unable to set a starting and ending total.  Is there a way around this?

I have read about Breakdown but I don't think this is what I need.

Hi @jamesrupertball ,

 

According to my knowledge, Power BI Waterfall Chart does not support set as total. You can use custom visual to achieve this goal.

For example:

Pivot your table:

Then apply to the visual:

Final output:
