Waterfall charts are a great tool that can help you visualize how a starting value is affected by a series of positive and negative contributions as well as show the transition in value of an indicator that is subject to positive or negative changes over time.
Waterfall charts can be useful in many situations – from visualizing financial statements to changes in profits and operating costs over time.
With Visyond, you can easily create Waterfall Charts online in one click and securely share it with collaborators. All charts are in sync with the spreadsheet and presentation slide so you don’t have to maintain or manual updated them if underlying data changes.
