Hi @Diva20 

Could you tell me if your problem has been solved? If it is, kindly Accept it as the solution. More people will benefit from it. Or you are still confused about it, please provide me with more details about your table and your problem or share me with your pbix file from your Onedrive for Business.

Hello @DivyaAluri3

I have a test building a sample.

You must create two additional tables.

Category table:

Breakdown table:

My data table:

Build a measure:

Measure = 
VAR _StartingHC =  SUM('Table'[Starting HC])
VAR _External = SUM('Table'[External Hire])
VAR _Rehire = SUM('Table'[Rehire])
VAR _Transfersin = SUM('Table'[Transfers in])
VAR _TransferOut = SUM('Table'[Transfers Out])
VAR _Vol = SUM('Table'[Vol])
VAR _INV = SUM('Table'[Inv])
VAR _EndingHC = SUM('Table'[Ending HC])
Return
  SWITCH (
    SELECTEDVALUE (Category[CategorySort] ),
    1, SWITCH (
        SELECTEDVALUE (Breakdown[Breakdown] ),
        "External Hire", -1*(_External-_StartingHC),
        "Rehire",-1*(_Rehire-_External),
        "Transfers Out",-1*(_TransferOut-_Transfersin),
        "Vol",-1*(_Vol-_TransferOut),
        "Inv",-1*(_INV-_Vol),
        _StartingHC
    ),
    2, SWITCH (
        SELECTEDVALUE (Breakdown[Breakdown] ),
        "External Hire", 0,
        "Rehire",0,
        "Transfers Out",0,
        "Vol",0,
        "Inv",0,
        _EndingHC
    )
)

Result:

It seems that the waterfall chart will not be sorted by breakdown now: Classification in the attribution distribution of the waterfall chart does not work

And you can check out this blog for more details on how to create this waterfall chart: How to make waterfall charts work

You can download my pbix file from this link: How to create a multi-column waterfall chart
