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.

  2. I would use the data tool the most a it will be required for my daily use.
    I would use the waterfall charting selectively where I have to create an impression and people will most certainly say “Wow how did you do it”

  4. It is an easy answer because it is showcased here already, but probably the Waterfall utility. I already make those quite a bit…and anything to make them easier would be great.

  5. I discovered the Jon Peltier’s website two years ago. And I love the charting techniques teach in the site.
    Particularly, XY Chart with the quick label function is the most useful tool for my daily works which very often requires me to plot the scatter chart for some regression results.
