I call it a drive chart. Either way you can make it horizontally or vertically. Do a stacked bar graph and just have the lower section clear so it looks like the bars are floating.

It is used to show valuation ranges. DCF, Comps, etc.

 

Thanks, I know how to create it, but was hoping someone already had an automated template where even the axiis titles would update with the multiples, etc.

 

I suppose you could create a macro or something. Maybe build a template a head of time which would be as simple as taking an old drive chart and just putting in place holder figures.

IMO, sometimes it is more work to make simple tasks automated. Also, it leaves you prone to errors as you rely on the automation too much.

 
BlatantTraderThanks, was hoping someone already had a template so I didn't have to recreate the wheel.

blatantly lazy....if you would've read what ANT suggested and done it yourself you wouldn't have to recreate a fucking wheel. you just don't want to put effort into doing something as simple as a football field yourself.

 

Yeah, not to harp on anyone, but there is no automated template. You just make a simple stacked bar chart. Like if you need to automate that I don't know what to say.

 

When I was in banking we had a template that was incredibly automated. You input the beginning of the x-axis, the increments, and then the multiple ranges. Could populate the football field in under 60 seconds. I agree that automation is the way to go here, but I also agree that you should just go out and build one or at least ask other analysts at your company. WSO is NOT the best location to go to ask for proprietary files...
