How to create a waterfall chart
The waterfall chart allows you to plot values as bars, however, depending on whether they are negative or positive numbers the total is added or subtracted. The columns have different colors based on if the value is less than 0 (zero) or larger than 0 (zero) and they are connected with lines to make it easier for the reader to follow.
The waterfall chart is great for displaying financial information like income statements. It shows the cumulative effect for each activity and the outcome.
