A waterfall chart displays cumulative effects of sequential positive and negative values, making it ideal for income statement visualization. Subtotal bars can be inserted at key points to highlight intermediate results like gross profit or operating income.
This sample presents an ACME Corp. income statement with relative values flowing from Net Sales through costs and gains to Net Income. Subtotals appear for Gross Income, Operating Income, and Net Profit Before Taxes. Dashed orange connectors emphasize transitions between bars, the y-axis is formatted in millions, and custom labels show absolute values for totals versus deltas for regular points.
Follow the step-by-step Waterfall Chart Tutorial to learn how such charts are built. See the Waterfall Chart documentation for all configuration options.
