Scroll or other feature when long categories

nishantjainuk / SimpleWaterfall-PowerBI

A Power BI Visual that allows users to create simple waterfall charts just by using measures. The standard waterfall chart isn't design to create multi step waterfall and requires the underlying data to be in a particular layout. You can create multi step waterfall. This is very useful in Finance report where you need to create causal reports.

Scroll or other feature when long categories #5

Hi, first thanks a lot for the waterfall chart it is really useful.

is it possible to add a scroll feature to the chart whenever the visualization can't fit within the boundaries of the x axis. I have long categories and the chart is not readable. another way is to show a new sentiment that aggregates all small categories in a field called others.

thanks alot /jawdat

Hi Nishan! thanks a lot in advance for taking this into consideration!

I expect the scrollable version to be available in the next version. Expect it to be released by end of Jan 2020.

@joehigab

I have created the beta version for you to test the scrollable version. You can download it from here

To make the visual scrollable, switch off the property "fit to width" in the "X-axis" section of the properties pane. You can also change the size of the bars if you want.

There are some new features in the visual. You can find the full list here.

I would submit the new version to Microsoft next week and would appreciate your feedback for any bugs so that I can fix them before submission.

Thanks

I have added a new option as per your suggestion. Now you can choose when to fix the X-axis with the width of the visual or want it scrollable

To enable the scrollable option, switch off the option highlighted below.

I have submitted the visual to Microsoft and it can upto 3 weeks for the changes to reflect in the appsource. Until then, you can download the beta version here.

You can load this beta version and try it.

Note that you will have to remove the beta version and use the appsource version once it is live.

Looking forward for your feedback

Hi @nishantjainuk thanks for the new feature it is really good and as described. however, now as I am using waterfalls more and more, I think fitting the chart to the width and grouping all small categories in others is the best way to see waterfalls. say display top 15 deviations including an "other".

but anyway thanks alot for the feature. 👍
