For example, to build a Waterfall chart, you just select your data, click the Waterfall Chart command on the Ribbon, set a few options, and click OK, and your waterfall chart is ready. It even works if the total values are negative, as you can see in the example below.

  1. I would most likely try to find an application for each distinct utility, but the main one that comes to mind is the waterfall chart. I currently create manual charts to “bridge” the gap between actual and plan activity on a monthly basis. I’m sure this utility would greatly simplify the process.

  3. I’d use the waterfalls most for tracking stock incoming, outgoing, sold, brought, total etc which is something i already have to do for monthly reports but this would save me quite a bit of time and finally allow me to get rid of the cheat tab i have to include as a template to build it from
