Innofalls Charts provide several distinct types of waterfall charts, each serving unique purposes and offering valuable insights into your data. Below is a summary of these chart types with links to their detailed subsections:
These charts break down a final sum into its constituent contributions, such as income statements or cash flow analysis.
They are excellent for tracking cumulative values over time or across categories.
Running Total Waterfall Charts are further subdivided into charts with intermediate totals and sub totals, offering different levels of data aggregation.
These charts compare two specific values (such as two years) by showing deviations between the intermediate elements.
You can either use the default "auto" scheme for flexible element comparison or enforce the Delta Waterfall Scheme through the menu for a consistent view.
These charts compare different measures over the course of various members, providing insights into how the start and end measures change across a dataset.
They require filling in both the "Values From" and "Values" fields, and allow for the comparison of aggregated measures.
These charts can be added on top of an existing chart to visualize and accumulate deviations, making it easy to see how individual elements contribute to overall deviation from a baseline.
They are particularly useful for variance analysis in performance metrics and budget comparisons.
If Auto is selected, the waterfall will be shown as a running totals waterfall, unless two or more elements in the drill down history are selected. Then a delta waterfall is built. With one exception: If the selected elements don't have children in common (like Quarters, which have different months as children), a running totals waterfall will be built.
See Automatic Chart Selection for more details.
