Stacked Waterfall Chart in Zebra BI Charts

Every waterfall tells you what changed. A stacked waterfall chart shows you which segments drove the change and by how much in a single view. 

With Zebra BI Charts, this is now available. Stop explaining the numbers. Start acting on them.

Complete clarity

Revenue is up 20k. The CFO's first question is where it came from.

A stacked waterfall chart has the answer in the same column: LATAM down 1,7k,  Europe up 74,8k, APAC down 53,1k.

Focus on the issue, not the explanation.

 

30-sec setup

Drag your segment dimension into the Groups field to create Small Multiples.

Then click 'stacked' in the top-right chart controls, and voila. No DAX, no extra measures.

No more rebuilds

Tooltips disappear on export.

Stacked Waterfall places the breakdown directly on the bars, so the PDF, screenshot, or board deck shows the full picture.

Nothing to rebuild on a separate slide.

Why it matters? 🎯

  • Revenue reviews start at "what do we do next" instead of "where did this number come from."
  • Board packs and PDF exports carry the full segment story without manual rebuilds
  • One visual answers how much changed and why, without switching pages
  • Works across any analysis where a total needs its contributing parts

Time to give it a spin!

If you're using the AppSource version of Zebra BI (version 4.0.0 or higher), then your Zebra BI will be updated via Microsoft's AppSource marketplace automatically once processed.

If you're using an older (private) version of Zebra BI (e.g. 3.x.x or older), then this is a perfect opportunity to update your Zebra BI! When ready, just shoot us an email at support@zebrabi.com and we'll help you migrate to the latest version.
