Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.
Try this.
Code:
Sub ImportData()
'
' Go to the All points sheet
' Select A1
' Start wizard to import text file
'
Dim retval As Boolean
    Sheets("All points List").Columns("A:Q").ClearContents
    Range("A1").Select
    ChDir "C:\Bas\Data\"
    With Application.Dialogs(xlDialogImportTextFile)
        If .Show = True Then
            'do something
        End If
    End With
    
End Sub
