I have information in this format:
| Year | Department | Sales |
| 2022 | Accessories | 1200 |
| 2022 | Services | 500 |
| 2022 | Core | 4200 |
| 2023 | Accessories | 800 |
| 2023 | Services | 700 |
| 2023 | Core | 3800 |
I want to create a waterfall chart that shows the evolution from 2022 to 2023 by department.
This is, first column would be the total for 2022 and then a waterfall (increase/decrease) by department (so 3 columns) and lastly a 2023 total column.
I see examples that make the waterfall by months, but I need by deparments instead, so not sure how to do it.
