The waterfall chart is used to display the proportion of values over time.

A waterfall chart is a graphical representation of the proportion of values over time. It is used to display the proportion of values over time. The chart shows changes in the value over time, with a separate line for each category. It’s often used to show the financial status of a company over a given period.

  • The first dimension represents the timeframe (e.g., year)
  • The second dimension represents categories (e.g., country)
