Key features

See each feature in action

Short clips of what SimpleWaterfall Pro does and how to use it.

User-defined pillars

Mark any measure or category as a pillar to build as many subtotals as your model needs, with an optional automatic cumulative total

Drill down in place

Add several columns to Category and walk through the hierarchy without leaving the visual. Long press to drill on tablet and mobile

Vertical and horizontal layouts

Switch orientation in one setting to suit long category names or narrow report space

Limit steps with an Other bar

Show only the top steps and roll the rest into an Other bar you can rename and cross-filter from

Smart label handling

Labels are nudged, then shortened, and hidden only as a last resort. The full value always stays on the tooltip

Report page tooltips

Hover any bar to show a full report page filtered to that bar

Conditional bar colours

Colour by favourable and adverse sentiment, bar by bar, or drive colour from a measure with fx

Pinned Y-axis range

Set the same minimum and maximum on several visuals to compare waterfalls fairly on one scale

Cross-filter and drill through

Select a bar to filter the rest of the page, or jump to a detail page filtered to that bar
