In Power BI you only need the initial value (500) and all the adds and deletes. No need to include the other monthly totals in the source data.

Hi Ibendlin,
There is no specific reason to replicate.

I thought it would be nice if I am showing the additions,deletions near to the total instead of starting from zero as in the column chart.
It is ok for me If this can be done differently in power bi...

what is your rationale for wanting to replicate the chart?  Power BI's Waterfall chart works very differently from Excel's implementation.
