3D Tornado Chart
A 3D tornado chart extrudes a horizontal diverging bar chart into space so positive and negative contributions to a quantity sit on either side of a central axis as solid 3D bars. Useful for sensitivity analysis, NPS breakdowns (promoters minus detractors), revenue impact attribu

When to use this template
This visualization excels at breaking down a total quantity into its constituent positive and negative drivers. Analysts use it to quickly identify which factors contribute most significantly, in either direction, to an outcome, making it ideal for sensitivity analysis, impact attribution, or comparing opposing forces.
- Data with a single quantitative measure that can be positive or negative
- Categorical dimension with 5-20 distinct breakdown elements
- Values representing contributions, deltas, or deviations from a baseline
- Data where the absolute magnitude and direction of each component are equally important
- Static or infrequently updated datasets, suitable for interactive exploration
- Comparison of two opposing forces across multiple categories
