Waterfall charts are a powerful visual you can create in Tableau to demonstrate the running, cumulative effect of positive and negative values over time. They are fun way to spice up your dashboards, but it can be difficult to remember each of the exact steps you need to follow.
They are great for:
Displaying profitability trends
Displaying headcount increases and decreases over time
Displaying point differential by game
Check out the video below to learn how to create a waterfall chart for yourself!
