Hi all,
Can anyone point me in the direction of a really good/detailed waterfall chart help, because i’m really struggling at this point.
Issue 1

or Forecast No 1 vs Forecast No 2.
The waterfall is set up as
This has got me stumped. the advice i’ve got in the past on these forums has been great; so I’m really hoping that you all can come to the party on this one.
