How do I create and interpret a river diagram?

Roland Wagner said: Could anybody please assist me with creating and interpreting a "River Diagram" in Excel. A bit of googling gets me this page... http://www.aidscompetence.org/conten...er_diagram.htm ....where it appears that a river diagram is an Excel Stacked Area Chart type, where the first area is the minimum across all series, and the second area is the range between minimum and maximum across all series. Which makes the stacked sum, the maximum. Then a single series is plotted as a Line Chart type, showing how close it comes to the "banks" of the river. You might want to try a parallel coordinates graph instead of, or in combination with, the river graphic. Here is a good example from Jon Peltier: http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/...#ParallelCoord This gives you the same info, but a bit more richness. It's like it's showing you the currents in the river as well as just its banks. -- Del Cotter NB Personal replies to this post will send email to , which goes to a spam folder-- please send your email to del3 instead. |
