I am looking for software tools and/or techniques for creating cascading and
waterfall charts . I'm guessing that regular Excel does not do this. What's
the best answer?

Excel should be able to handle it:

If you did want another program that works well you could try Mekko Graphics
it's very good at charting (and is a bit "prettier") but Excel works just
fine too as the others have pointed out but that's another option (albeit a
more expensive one).
