Waterfall Chart Sample: Start Point End Point

This document describes the logic and data used in a waterfall chart. The chart shows the transition from the previous year's operating margin to the current year's operating margin. It displays the factors that affected the operating margin by having bars that move up or down based on positive or negative values. The start and end points are on the x-axis, and bars of different colors represent negative, positive, and start/end values. Data examples are provided for the chart points.

Logic for Chart
• Starting bar starts from the X-Axis
• Each bar starts where the previous bar ends
• Negative values make the bar move downwards
• Positive values make the bar move upwards
• Due to this logic, some bars may be floating and not linked to the X-Axis
• Ending bar also starts from the X-Axis

Simple Logic
The transition from Last Year’s Operating Margin to the Current Year’s Operating
Margin is clearly displayed by this chart.
This helps in analyzing at a glance, the factors that affect the Operating Margin and
brought it to current level.

The same can be applied to the Cash Flow : Starting with Cash Carried Forward and
Ending in Cash In Hand, with Cash In-Flows (negative figures) and Cash Out-Flows
(positive figures) as intermediate bars.
