sy-tornado-chart
Tornado
Compare two groups on opposite sides of a center line.
sy-tornado-chart
Use for two groups with shared categories, such as age bands or products.
The two sides separate direction. Do not arbitrarily negate the input values.
Base chart tier: Community. Features such as additional renderers and custom branding have separate entitlement requirements.
| Input | Data description |
