How do I create a waterfall chart in an existing model from existing data that is currently displayed on multiple dashboards?
Hi @Leisha ,
Yes, you can create a waterfall chart from the existing data but waterfall depends on the summary of the line items
You can refer to the below link for an example:

Waterfall charts work down line items and you will need most likely need to create a new module where you can reference each movement that you would like to include in the waterfall chart.
See how the line items take the actuals and then each variance to bridge the gap to forecast.
You could use a line item subset to map these into this module.
When setting the pivot ensure that all dimensions are placed as context selectors with your line items as rows;
Once set update the chart options so 'First Item as Total' is activated. This will change the 'Actuals' from green to grey as it is a total.
Once complete publish to the chart card.
Hi everyone 👋 If you build or maintain Anaplan models, you've probably hit the same walls I kept hitting. Some basic questions about a model's structure have no single screen to answer them. You end up clicking through modules and pages one by one, or writing API scripts just to get a list. These were the gaps that…

We've been building a tool called aplan4sheets and we'd genuinely like input from this community — both on what we've built so far and on what we should prioritize next. The problem we set out to solve: Anaplan's Excel add-in is Windows-centric, and there's no real native way to pivot Anaplan data in Google Sheets. We…
