Waterfall graph

How do I create a waterfall chart - it is not in the wizard.

RE: Waterfall graph

Hi Terry, thanks for your query. The quick answer is you create a stacked column chart and turn off the fill colour of the base columns, thereby giving the illusion that the top level bars are floating in space. This link walks you through the process:

Hope this helps,

Anthony

Excel tip:

Change the default location for opening and saving spreadsheets

If you are always opening spreadsheets from and/or saving documents to a specific location that is not My Documents, save time by setting this folder as the default for opening files from and saving files to.

Here's how:
1. Go to Tools - Options.

2. Select the General tab.

3. Enter the pathname of the folder you wish to make the default in the Default File Location box (hint: it will be easier to use Windows Explorer to navigate to this folder, then copy and paste the pathname from the address bar at the top of the Windows Explorer screen).

4. Click OK.

You have now changed the default folder for opening and saving spreadsheets.
