2. Drag and drop the one sheet of connected dataset.
3. Click on Sheet1 to open the tableau worksheet.
4. On clicking Sheet1 you will get whole dataset attributes on left side and a worksheet for work.
5. To draw a waterfall chart we have draw a bar chart, convert to Gantt Chart, form negative axis and apply it to make chart like waterfall.
- Draw a Bar Chart
- Make it running and convert to Gantt Chart
