Hi Andy! This is extremely helpful. I have a doubt, in the butterfly chart ; for 2021, how do we get rid of the negative sign near to the labels ?

[ba_maistora]

Thank you for a fantastic tutorial, Andy! I am looking to add a reference line in the butterfly chart to highlight the variance between the two sides. Is this possible? I would really appreciate your expertise to see if this is worth exploring further.

[yosephfahed]

This guy is truly amazing, if he just slow down a bid.

[huytruong]

Hi Andy, why is there no tooltip for the RANDOM() function in the calculation window?

Hi Andy; thanks for all the tips! The negative mark labels in the butterfly chart bother me a little; I find it neater to edit the axis and set scale to "Reversed" ;)

[komsafa-re]

Thank you for the Video. how can I get dataset for this work?
