Andy, thankyou for the link. it is very helpful.

however i could not load my excel data ! !from my c drive for the dynamic waterfall.

and I  tried static way , I think i see group what i want but i want different colors for different measures. which i couldn't achieve.

please see attached qvf. if you can tell me what i have done incorrect.

also do you have more info on multiplier and offset concept. i didnt understand clearly how set up and why?

thanks again for your time.

If you are using 3.2 you should be able to set your custom colors if you set your measure as a master item.

The offset is what makes your measure display above or below the 0 axis.

I'll have a play with it tomorrow and see what I can get going

Regards

Andy

Thankyou, I tried this  for color expression .no luck.

if(Dim = 'Offset',ARGB(0,0,0,0),

Pick(Match(Static, 'Headcount', 'Hires', 'Terms'),

RGB(204,102,119), RGB(68,119,170), RGB(26, 188, 156)))

almost there with the colour.  you need to use the wildmatch function to identify the colour as you have year also in your name.  This should fix the colour

if(Dim = 'Offset',ARGB(0,0,0,0),

Pick(WildMatch(Static, '*Headcount', '*Hires', '*Terms'),

RGB(204,102,119), RGB(68,119,170), RGB(26, 188, 156)))

The multiplier detirmines if your value axis start point based on the last value.  1=Ontop, -1 means Below, 0=same level

I hope this helps. 

Regards
