A waterfall chart displays cumulative effects of sequential positive and negative values, making it ideal for income statement visualization. Subtotal bars at key points reveal intermediate results like gross profit and operating income.
This sample visualizes the 2020 annual income statement of Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL), flowing from Total Revenue through costs and gains to Net Income. Rising, falling, and total columns each have distinct coloring with hatch fills, and red dashed connectors link the bars. HTML-enabled labels display totals in bold red while regular points show their delta values.
