Waterfallchart with several columns

Hey guys,

 

I've an Excel Sheet for several persons, that looks like the following:

Now what I wish to do, is create a waterfall chart that has the Sector on the x-axis and the value on the y-axis, where "Actual" is the first bar, "Target" is the third bar and the distance is what the waterfall chart adds in red, green or yellow.

It would be optimal, to have it with a drilldown function, that when I click on my "Target"-Bar shows me all persons and the amount they have as Target.
What I did to achieve this, is adding a column with the persons name to their query, merge all querys and unipivout the columns "Actual" and "Target". Sadly I still wasn't able to create the graphic as I wished. I hope one of you guys can help me out and if I need to explain something a little better, please let me know.

 

Thanks and greetings,

 

Nick

HI @Nick2,

 

Based on test, current power bi waterfall chart seems not display summary records with different at same time, when you add breakdown column, it only shows difference without accurate detail actual/target value.

Table2 is unpivoted table which I used to create two waterfall charts.

 

BTW, you can also contact to custom visual team to confirm this.
