In the current version of the waterfall chart the Total bar is on the right. Could there be an option to move the Total bar to the left of the visual? Users are sometimes only interested to see the total, and if there are a lot of items on the x-axis they need to scroll to the right to see it.

RE: Waterfall chart - add option to move total to the left

This shortcoming in PowerBi literally moved my end user to decide to just make the Waterfall Chart in Excel instead of PowerBI. Our data is date-organized and they wanted to be able to read it left-to-right, oldest-to-newest. It is very odd that this visual option doesn't support having the chart read in in the other direction. It's more of a Stairs Chart than a Waterfall Chart. Even a simple mirroring option might work.
