Budget waterfall

From plan to actual, step by step
The prompt
Create an interactive waterfall chart for Tidewell Outfitters, a regional surf-apparel retailer, showing how planned Q2 2026 operating profit of $1,840K moves to the actual result through sales volume, price and mix, promo discounts, cost of goods, freight, payroll, marketing, rent, FX and a one-off warehouse repair, with increases and decreases colored and values on hover. Data: example data.
Make it yours
- Change the details in the prompt to fit finance teams.
- For example, change it so that it is for a regional bakery chain and the starting figure is planned revenue, with drivers like store traffic, ticket size and wholesale orders.
- Ask for edits in plain words: tone, colors, length, layout or data.
- Share the result by link or export it when you are done.
