In my experience, this is the go-to chart for understanding financial drivers at the senior leader/board level.

Even the popular plotting libraries in python don’t seem to have an easily configurable version. Recently tried plotly and found it plotting the categories in reverse order from the intuitive way you’d expect to see.

I’ve been meaning to script my own custom plot since Excel’s waterfalls are tedious to create and you don’t get enough control over the labeling.

I'm sorry you had a bad experience with Plotly... I'd be curious to hear more if you're willing to share! Were you working in Python or Javascript or within our GUI?
