Example - Variance (Two Measures, One Dimension)

In a Variance waterfall consisting of one dimension and two measures (Figure 5), the first measure shows the starting point and the second measure (where you can set the labels and colors used) will be the end point. Any dimension values in the chart will automatically display the expression

(end measure - start measure)
