Waterfall Delta

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

Introduced in N4V 2025.3.4

• Diagram made of vertical/horizontal linked bars with 3 dimensions and 2 measures. Display a Waterfall of the measure for each category between the begin & end period in delta mode.
• 2 indicators must be defined (one for the measure at the begin of the period and one for the measure at the end of the period).
• 3 dimensions must be used (begin & end period, category).
• Possibility to use the functionality of linked elements on this graph.

• Dimension 1 : Begin of the period
• Dimension 2 : End of the period
• Dimension 3 : Category

• Measure 1 : Value at the begin of the period
• Measure 2 : Value at the end of the period

• Move the mouse over the graph to bring up the tooltip.

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. Element linking is only possible on category bars (not on begin/end period bars).

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