Waterfall chart issue
Hi Everyone!
I wouldlike to create waterfall chart, but with quite different data.
Please find screenshot below - this chart was done in the excel and I would like to move it to powerBi, but I am really struggling.
Total 3 should be $8,4, not $8.6 ;)
Basicaly I would like to start with fix amount - total 1 ($10) after that I have category 1 =0, next category 2 = -2$, next is total 2 = total 1 + (category 1 + category 2), next is category 3 = +0.5$ and category 4 = +0.1$ and total 3 = total 2 + (category 3 + category4).
The problem is that all my categories are different, so when I use breakdown in PowerBI I have total 1 bar with -> category 1, category, 2, category3, category 4, then total 2 bar with- > category 1, category, 2, category3, category 4 and total 3 as a sum of everything....
Are you able to let me know how to achieve it ? Is it possible to have it done in PowerBi ?
Hope it make sense...
Thank you!
Monika
Hi Monica,
According to my test, the breakdown in the Power BI Waterfall chart exists in all milestones. Please check out the demo in the attachment. So the data could be like below.
Name Category Value
m1 start 10 m2 start 10 m2 Category 2 -2.13 m3 start 10 m3 Category 2 -2.13 m3 Category 3 0.6 m3 Category 4 0.2 m4 start 10 m4 Category 2 -2.13 m4 Category 3 0.6 m4 Category 4 0.2 m4 Category 8 3.6 Best Regards,

Hi Monika,
Please share a dummy sample. That would help us to find out where went wrong.

Hi All,
Sorry, sample data are like that (without total 3 since it's auto-calculated) :
Name Category Value Start 10 Category 1 0 Category 2 -2 Total 2 8 Category 3 0.5 Category 4 0.1 Thanks!
