WaterFall Charts

Hi all- would like help understanding how to organize the data for a waterfall chart on the data source. 

 

Anything I try to Google is only showing me how to modify the graph. I'm working on a deadline, so this is crucial - any help is much appreciated!!

Hi @abingle ,

Regarding your question, the x-axis of a waterfall chart can be time or category, and the y-axis needs to be values. Something like the following table.

If in doubt, refer to the dataset in the example file in the following article.
