![]() The error is invoked so that the chart doesn’t plot the blank/zero values (article for another day). We use the formula =IF(D4>0,D4,NA()) to return these values, otherwise return an error. +ve Change column: This column will comprise of all positive values. The rationale of this column is that if the change is positive ( D4>0), then this positive value’s starting point will be the previous total ( E3), BUT if there is a decrement, then the absolute value of this negative change will be supported by a series whose value is current row cumulative total ( E4). Different Advanced Excel analysts apply varied formulas to generate this column. The formula used here reads =IF(D4>0,E3,E4). Invisible column: The values in this column, often referred to as the base column provide support or the starting point to the floating negative and positive series. To get the start value type =D3in cell F3 then copy the formula in cell F8. Alternatively, in cell E4, type the formula E3+D4.Įnds column: This gives the starting and ending values, in this case EBITDA and FCF respectively. The formulas used for these additional columns are explained below:Ĭumulative column: We use the formula =SUM($D$3:D3) to get the cumulative total. Given the value of each of the items to be presented in the waterfall chart, we shall introduce the Cumulative, Ends, Invisible, +ve Change and -ve Change columns. The first step is to reorganize the data and introduce new columns as shown in the figure that follows. ![]() For Excel 2016, the good news is that the waterfall chart is one of the standard charts! Share this article with a colleague and let me know in the comments section what data visualization techniques you would want to advance skills in.
