In a section about waterfall charts the book authors state, "The ... waterfall chart [shown] could be created with some effort by using a stacked column chart, in which the lower segments are made invisible. Easier and quicker though, it can be done with the charting software think-cell chart. ... Using it, one can create sophisticated chart types [...] in the twinkling of an eye."
