I would like to create a waterfall chart that has multiple categories in each column.

RE: Created a stacked waterfall chart

there's an exisiting one similar to this for Excel
https://peltiertech.com/Utility30/Documentation30/StackedWaterfall.html

However I find the actual stacking between the start and end columns is not that helpful. I'd like one where the start column is stacked (e.g. 2016 revenue stacked by product), then each waterfall column has only a single product, and the end column has 2017 revenue stacked by product.
The difficulty is that the x-axis is different. First and last columns are time based, intermediate waterfall columns are product/label based.

Hi...just checked...TABLEAU has this functionality built in and available now. This may be my solution for Year End Corporate reporting. Hopefully POWERBI can implement this as well. Thanks.

Please add this...it is essential to our reporting to be able to catergorize the components that make up our metrics. Currently we use Excel...but having it POWERBI would be a game changer.

RE: Created a stacked waterfall chart

We have multiple components that drive a metric, and a waterfall chart would be ideal to show the contributions of each.
