[D] Feature request: add up/down arrows to bar chart indicating relative increase/decrease from prior period [superset]
GitHub user christophorapg created a discussion: Feature request: add up/down arrows to bar chart indicating relative increase/decrease from prior period
## Screenshot
## Description
I want to make this kind of bar chart with the up dan down arrows, just like the picture attached above, in Superset. I made the chart and arrows in Tableau. Could anybody please show me the way to make them in Superset? Thank you in advance.

Wouldn't the Waterfall chart work great for this? It can make the bars green when they go up and red when they go down.

Superset does not natively support custom annotations or markers like arrows directly on charts. However, you can achieve similar functionality using conditional formatting and custom tooltips or labels.
1. **Conditional Formatting**: You can use the `ConditionalFormattingControl` to apply color formatting to indicate percentage changes. This control allows you to set conditions for different colors based on percentage changes, which can visually represent increases or decreases <sup>[[1]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/master/superset-frontend/plugins/plugin-chart-echarts/src/BigNumber/BigNumberTotal/controlPanel.ts)</sup><sup>[[2]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/master/superset-frontend/plugins/plugin-chart-pivot-table/src/plugin/controlPanel.tsx)</sup><sup>[[3]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/master/superset-frontend/src/explore/components/controls/ConditionalFormattingControl/FormattingPopoverContent.tsx)</sup>.
2. **Custom Tooltips and Labels**: Superset supports dynamic tooltips and labels that can display percentage changes. You can configure these to show dynamic data, such as percentage changes, using the available options in the chart settings <sup>[[4]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/master/superset-frontend/plugins/plugin-chart-echarts/src/Funnel/controlPanel.tsx)</sup><sup>[[5]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/master/superset-frontend/plugins/plugin-chart-echarts/src/Sunburst/transformProps.ts)</sup><sup>[[6]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/master/superset-frontend/plugins/plugin-chart-echarts/src/BigNumber/BigNumberWithTrendline/transformProps.test.ts)</sup>.
For more advanced customization, you might need to explore Superset's plugin architecture or consider custom development to add specific icons or annotations like arrows.

Those arrows show % change relative to a prior period? That is not currently possible. In addition to the waterfall chart, you might try the "Big Number with Trendline" chart - it can compare to a prior period. And I think I saw there's a time-series table chart that just got a big overhaul in the latest release when it comes to comparing to a prior time period.
Granted the Big Number with Trendline will only show for one series, not many like in your chart. And a table doesn't visualize as nicely. So I get that these aren't complete substitutes.
I'm going to convert this to a feature request discussion since it's not a bug that needs to be fixed.
