    Waterfall Chart or your better idea

    Hey guys,

    I guess creating a waterfall chart to depict progress on project completion is rocket science, so I am enlisting you help!

    See Attached Book2.xlsx

    I am trying to create 3 charts. Look at the tables with the red headings first.

    I have 298 sites in my project. 203 are complete. 95 are pending complete. I need breakout the 95 sites that are pending complete listed in the breakout table to the right.

    All of this is supposed to be in a waterfall chart. Ideas?

    Next, See the blue tables.

    I have 298 sites, 160 have been submitted. 160 approved by CX. 145 Approved by PA. 142 Customer Submitted. I need to breakout the 142 sites kinda as shown.

    138 of the sites have not been submitted yet by the 4 companies as shown.

    I just need to create a chart to present this. I don't care if it's waterfall or not.

    Can we at least agree that this is pretty complicated for someone who has never done this before? I've reviewed the tutorials before coming to this site. I cannot get my data to work.

    As a person who does anything other than scatter charts only very infrequently, I agree that charts are fussy. We have some very good charting folks here, though. Too soon to abandon hope.

    Sometimes its hard to reverse engineer something when your situation is a bit different! I'll be hanging out here waiting for the great minds to collaborate!

    Like shg, I work almost exclusively with scatter charts. However, it seems to me that a waterfall chart is relatively simple stacked column chart. There is some work that needs to be done in the spreadsheet to prepare the data for the three data series that go into a simple waterfall chart, and some formatting of the data series after the chart is created.

    IMO, the linked tutorials are pretty good and should help you understand how to create a waterfall chart. Rather than having us write yet another waterfall chart tutorial, I would suggest that you review the given tutorials and Allen F. Clark's example. Describe the part(s) where you are stuck, and describe what you are having trouble with. We will then be in a better position to help you understand the process of creating waterfall type charts.
