## Description[¶](https://www.dataiku.com/product/plugins/waterfall-chart/)

* This plugin adds a custom chart: the waterfall chart.

* Waterfall charts are useful to visualize the cumulative value of different categories that have either positive or negative values. They are quite similar to categorical histogram using cumulative values.

* DSS 7.0.1 or newer is required

## How to use[¶](https://www.dataiku.com/product/plugins/waterfall-chart/)

* This chart is based on the **Google Charts library** and requires internet access to render on your datasets.

* This new visualization is provided as custom charts and is available in the “Other” tab of the chart type selector.

The other charts page.

* The **By categories (X)** column corresponds to the different categories on which values are aggregated.

* The **Show values (Y)** column corresponds to the variable that is summed for each category.

## Example[¶](https://www.dataiku.com/product/plugins/waterfall-chart/)

For instance, in a dataset with transactions of different categories and values:

The Waterfall chart with **transaction\_type** as the **By categories (X)** column and with **transaction\_value** as the **Show values (Y)** column is:

For each type of transactions, the total sum of its values is computed and then these categories are sorted in decreasing order.

The **Total** column corresponds to the total cumulative values of all categories.
