Waterfall chart issue
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,
Dale
Basically, my data has some strating point let's say 10 and after that I have categories listed.
In between of categories I would like to see some milestones (totals) - that's why i set it up in this way.
All, sorry for spamming - but I did one more thign to make it more clear (?)
Below is one of set up of data I have prepared to build the waterfall chart. And the end result is almost ok.
The problem is that milestone I and milestone II are shown as 0, whereas I would like to have it shown as total of previous bars. So Milestone I (total) should show 7.87 and milestone II (total) should be 8.67 and should have the same colour as total bar. Also starting point should have the sae colour as total bar.
I assume the problem is with the formatting source data, but I have no idea how to change it. I tried several different ways of formatting it, but nothing really works...
Will be really grateful if anyone can help me.
Thanks,
Monika

@v-jiascu-msft Hi Dale,
I think I understood how waterfall charts works, and it simply won't work for our needs.
We'd rather use one of bar chart.
But anyway, I am very grateful for your help.
Thanks a lot!
Monika
