Can I restyle the result by hand?

Yes. The visual is built from plain Excel objects; recolor, resize and rewrite it as you like.

What happens when I update the cells?

The visual watches the cells it is bound to; change the values and the view redraws itself.

Is my source table modified?

No. The tool only reads your data; the only addition to the sheet is the visual itself.

Can I move to a different template?

Yes; open the gallery again and build a new template on the same data. The old visual stays until you remove it.

Create a Waterfall Delta Chart in Excel

In short: Cumulative increases and decreases. Select your data, pick the template and map the fields; the result is an editable, data-bound visual that refreshes as your cells change. Nothing in the source is modified.

What it shows

Shows successive increases and decreases from a starting value cumulatively, explaining how a total is reached.

When to use it

Most useful when you need to showing the increases and decreases from opening to closing revenue item by item.

Example scenarios

Showing the increases and decreases from opening to closing revenue item by item.
Analysts: shows successive increases and decreases from a starting value cumulatively, explaining how a total is reached.

What it needs

One column with the category labels and one with the numeric values to compare.

How to use it

Select the data range or table you want to visualize.
Open the Charts (Visualizations menu) gallery from the XLMind Plus tab.
Pick the Waterfall Delta template and map its fields to your cells.
The visual is inserted bound to your data; it refreshes as the cells change.

What it produces

A live SVG chart shape (auto-refresh and edit).

Effect on your data and undo

Waterfall Delta does not change your source data; the result is added as a separate item. It refreshes automatically when the linked cells change. Undo Last rolls the change back in a single step.

How it differs from similar tools

No workaround chart plumbing is needed: the template binds to your cells in one step and the visual keeps up with the data.

Good to know

Bindings must match the chart's expected shape; auto-refreshes on source change. Requires the listed data fields (category, value).

Limitations

Requires the listed data fields.
