Waterfall report starting value

I am looking for a waterfall report to look exactly like this Office 365 page. http://bit.ly/1MQVmJb  I want to have a starting value of budgeted value, chart the variances and end up with the actual value. I don't see how to do the same thing in Power BI as I can't figure out how to start say with Budget and get the variances displayed to end with Actuals.  Any assistance would be most appreciated.

 

Regards,

 

Ginger

Yeah, the issue that I see is that there is no way to set individual data values as "totals", which baseline to 0 instead of "floating". I can't see a way around that at present.

DAX is easy, CALCULATE makes DAX hard...

That's bad news.  I was hoping that I was just missing something.  It strikes me as odd that I could do what I want in Excel 2016 and not Power BI.

You can achieve it by data modelling (see this file).

Only thing I couldn't figure out is how to give the first column a different colour. Watch out for the sort-by-index column!

I like it in that you have created a work around. I don't like that MS still haven't made it easier all these years later, even though it's easy in Excel. Good work by you though 👍
