Waterfall

This is the N4V FOR WEBI Wiki page for the Stacked Waterfall widget.

Updated for N4V 2025.2.10

• Diagram made of vertical/horizontal linked bars.
• 1 to 5 indicators can be defined and stacked (or not).
• 1 or 2 dimensions can be used to get a fold/unfold chart.
• Possibility to use the functionality of linked elements on this graph.

• Dimensions 1 : Dimension 1
• Dimension 2 : [Optional] level 2

• Measure 1 : Measure 1
• Measure 2 : [Optional] measure 2
• Measure 3 : [Optional] measure 3
• Measure 4 : [Optional] measure 4
• Measure 5 : [Optional] measure 5

• Move the mouse over the graph to bring up the tooltip.
• If 2 dimensions are provided and fold/unfold is enabled, move mouse over the total bars to unfold the corresponding group, move the mouse over the grand total to fold/unfold all the groups (move again over the grand total to get the opposite action).

Use the Webi native element link function to make this graph interact with other elements of the same report (native Webi tables / graphs and / or Need4Viz graphs). Element binding can be defined on all objects or individually on one of the dimensions of the graph.

Here you can find instructions for accessing settings for Need4viz graphics: Format Custom Element.
