Waterfall graph

The Waterfall graph shows a calculated measure and its components. The following formats are available:

Actual Value

The Actual Value Waterfall graph shows how a calculated measure is increased or decreased by each of its component measures for a single date range. The last bar represents the final calculated value. The preceding bars show each of the component measures in the calculation. The graph makes it easy to see how much each component impacts the calculated value.

Difference

The Difference Waterfall graph shows a calculated value for two date ranges, and how much each of the component measures affected the change. This graph makes it easy to see what component values have changed the most/least and, therefore, affected the final value.

Waterfall graph options	Explanation
Actual Value or Difference	Click in the upper-right corner to choose the format: Actual values for each component measure or the Difference between This and Last for each component measure. See the previous examples.
This only or Last only (only for actual value graphs)	Click in the upper-right corner and choose the timeframe(s) for which you want to display data.
Normal or Reverse	Click in the upper-right corner to choose the display order for the component measures: Normal shows the components in the same order that they are listed in the formula; Reverse shows the component measures in reverse order.
In graph settings (in explore mode): Show labels	You can turn on/off labels using the Enable Data Labels option under graph settings. The labels show the values or difference for the calculated and component measures.
