Waterfall Chart

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hi Team,

I have created a waterfall chart as shown below. The end user would like to display both the values and the percentages. However, I haven’t found any settings that allow both to be shown simultaneously. I attempted to use the Tooltip feature to display the percentages, but that didn’t work either.

Is there a way to show both the number and the percentage in the waterfall chart? Thanks in advance!

Regards

Harry

Hi @Harry Sun ,

Indeed, it's not currently possible to natively display both values and percentages in the same Waterfall chart in Board.

However, there’s a smart workaround you can try: use two superimposed Waterfall charts one for values (the main one) and another for percentages (a "technical" one):

The main Waterfall displays the absolute values as usual.
The second Waterfall is configured to show only percentages, with all other elements (bars, axes, backgrounds) set to transparent — except for the percentage labels.
You then overlay the two charts exactly on top of each other and set the main chart as a master object to ensure smooth interactions.

This trick lets you simulate both value and percentage display in one view, although you should carefully test interactions (like drill-downs or selectors) to ensure it behaves as expected.

Let me know if you'd like help setting it up!

Thanks a lot Akrem. I believe it will work. a bit hard to make sure the number and percentage are not overlapping with each other.

Thanks to you @Harry Sun ! 😊
It's a pity we can't have this natively in Board. I suggest you share this as an idea on the Board Community, it could be really helpful for others too!
