Waterfall Chart

[Anonymous]

I want to show a Book Value roll-forward using a waterfall chart in Power BI but I need to be able to determine the start and end points (BOP and EOP) but also need to determine the steps in between from a different data source. Is there any way to customize the waterfall chart to suit this? It can be done in excel but difficult in PBI.

Hi,

As long as there are proper relationships between tables, this should be possible.  Share some data to work with and show the expected result.

Hi, the data is in the snap shot of the chart. I'm expecting to have BOP (2Q) Balance as the starting point, then drivers in between (acq, sales, FX, etc.) and end with EOP (3Q) Balance. For example:

BOP (start) = 100

acquisitons = 300

sales = -50

maturities = -100

FX = 120

Impairments = 200

EOP (ending balance) = 570

There is really nothing i can do with a snapshot.
