Working capital breakdown

We complement the previous section's working capital analysis with a closer look at the elements that make up each measure. In the case of DSI, we analyze Average Inventory Value and Annual Cost of Goods Sold (COGS). This auxiliary analysis helps us understand whether an increasing DSI is the result of rising inventory levels or decreasing sales. It also helps us detect which product is not rotating frequently enough.

Let's combine the related metrics and have them share the same dimension axis, as in the following visualization:

Exercise 15.5

1. Let's create three separate combo charts. We represent the current period with bars and the last period with circles. In each chart, we set the orientation to be horizontal, and move the legend to the top. When we use Ctrl + Shift to place the legend on top, we wait until its red outline covers the entire top section so that the labels appear in a row:

   Title	DSI

   Labels	Value
