C11: Tree charts

This template consists out of six separate charts showing related measures over time.

In the right chart column it shows the yearly development of the basic values “Return”, “Net sales” and “Assets”. In the middle chart column two ratios are calculated which lead to “Return on assets” in the left chart column. This chart type can be used best, if the mathematical relationship of two or more measures over time have to be presented. The number of time periods can be from 2 or 3 up to 8 or 15 in each chart.
