Here, we will see step by step process of how to create a waterfall chart in Tableau. Let&#8217;s start!!!<\/p>\n<h3>What is Waterfall Chart?<\/h3>\n<p>A waterfall chart represents a gradual transition of field values from a start value to end value showing a running total with successive increments and decrements. In a normal running total, we cannot see the contribution of each category or contributing factor to the whole value.<\/p>\n<p>But, in a waterfall chart, we can see how each category\u2019s positive value increments the total value and the negative ones decrement it and then finally leads to a resultant value. This allows for an insightful analysis of how individual elements of dimensions or measures are contributing to bringing a total value of something.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Have you checked the <a href=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/tableau-donut-chart\/\">Tableau Donut Chart<\/a> recipe for maintaining your data accurately?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<h3>How to Create Waterfall Chart in Tableau?<\/h3>\n<p>Follow the steps given below to create a waterfall chart in Tableau Desktop:<\/p>\n<h4>Step 1: Open a New Worksheet in Tableau Desktop<\/h4>\n<p>Open a new worksheet in your Tableau Desktop.
