svreriks Not sure if I can help, but from the naming of your screenshot, I suspect that you are on a Mac. So am I, though on the most recent (beta) version for MS265. Any chance you can upload your file with the chart(s) in it?
Hi Riny,
Thank you for your response. I am working on a windows computer. In the attachment i plugged in one diagram and a screenshot of the same diagram. As you can see (probably), there is an error popping up immediately after opening. Does the same happen for you if you create and save a waterfall diagram?
Kind regards, Stijnsvreriks Your chart is linked to a folder "Werkmap/Taken voor Wouter/etc." so the chart comes up empty. Nothing I can do for you right now.
Do you have an older version of Excel? Waterfall charts were introduced in Excel 2016, so if you have Excel 2013 or earlier, Excel will have problems with them.
Thank you for your answer. I work with Excel 2016, so it should work. I have no idea what could be the error, but it definitely has something to do with the waterfall diagram, as it keeps showing up, every time i do save a file with a waterfall diagram.
Any idea how this can be caused/ and preferably solved? 🙂
I'm afraid I have neither an explanation nor a solution. Sorry!
