About this helper

A waterfall chart shows how positive and negative changes build a running total. Change bars add or subtract from the previous level, while synthesis bars have no manual value and automatically show the total accumulated up to that row. The chart is drawn in your browser and can be copied as a JPG image.

What is a change bar?

A change bar adds or subtracts from the previous level, so it shows a variation between two steps.

What is a synthesis bar?

A synthesis bar is an automatic subtotal or total. It has no typed value and shows the sum accumulated up to that row.

Is chart data uploaded?

No. The chart is calculated and rendered in your browser.
