Waterfall Chart to Read from Pre-Calculated Table

Good morning, appreciate please someone to help me as I need this by next week!

I have a table that takes pre-loaded data and calculates metrics from it, called Impact A, Impact B...these Impacts are things like Data 1 - Data 2 or Data 2 X Data 1...calculated figures from pre-loaded data.

I am interested in taking the SUM of these Impacts, then putting them in a waterfall.

Please see attached. As you can see I am unable to link the waterfall to the SUMS in the table. I type "Impact A" in the waterfall but it is not taking it or worse it gives me a different number than the total.

Is there a way for the waterfall to read from calculated items in the table?

Thank you,

Wajih

Dear Mohammed,

Thank you for your reply. I cannot post the data file as it has too much sensitive data.

I tried using the same expression. In the example I posted I literally write ="Impact B" for the "subtract" waterfall portion. but it gives me blank as you can see, it should give me -2,688. It is not capturing "Impact B" in the waterfall chart.

If possible to connect via phone (I can call)  I can explain better. Other wise I hope I was clear enough.

appreciate you finding a solution please!

Thank you,

Wajih

Hello,

In table, Impact A = IF("# Units '16"=0 OR "# Units '17"=0,"0",("AOP '17" - "AOP '16")*"# Units '17")

In chart, I click "Add" and enter "Impact A" in the field.

Hi,

can you create some dummy data and post it.

or you can try something like this in the chart:

add Expression:

=(Sum("AOP '17") - Sum("AOP '16"))*sum("# Units '17")

Hi,

Not working. I simply want the chart to read "Impact A" Sum as is in the table.
