Displaying the Upper and Lower Steps
of the Waterfall Chart

by Data Boutiq

Displaying steps in a waterfall chart makes it easier to visually compare the starting and ending points of each bar.

How does displaying the upper and lower steps
of a waterfall chart help?

  • Displaying the upper and lower steps of a waterfall chart provides a clear visual representation of the cumulative effect of each step in a process.

  • This visualization allows viewers to quickly and easily identify the differences between the starting and ending values, as well as the individual steps that contribute to the overall result.

  • Additionally, it facilitates easy comparison of the relative contributions of each step to the total outcome, making it simpler to understand how each component impacts the overall result.
