Loved it, great way to start and refine, we have a similar system at AWS, however, our titles and body of slides are less noisy, concise or visual, that Deck was so noisy and less visual. More of a report

Excellent explanation and tips. However, can you please share examples of how to shape the data in Excel for each of the 3 types (a link to a file containing sample datasets would be helpful)? Many thanks.

Trying to figure out what kind of revenue waterfall chart would make sense to use for visualizing the expected monthly sales of premium games. It might be an idea to highlight amount of discounted sales done versus full-price sales. This game is not SaaS, and most likely have no DLCs. It's definitely not these in the video (they were great to see though). Any suggestions to the type I need to look for?

Do you manually create these waterfall charts
