A waterfall chart displays cumulative effects of sequential positive and negative values, making it ideal for income statement visualization. Arrow annotations can highlight overall change between any two points in the flow.
This sample visualizes an ACME Corp. income statement with programmatically inserted subtotal bars for Gross Income, Operating Income, Net Profit Before Taxes, and Net Income. An arrow annotation spans from Net Sales to Net Income, with its label formatted in millions, to emphasize the total change. Dashed connectors and rotated x-axis labels improve readability.
