📘

This article applies to the following Customer Insights roles: Developer


Typically used to show the reduction in data from one phase of a scenario to the next. For example, a funnel might track the number of people who log on to your web site vs. the number of people who register for your website vs. the number of people who verify their email addresses vs. the number of people who then log on to the web site for the first time.

Funnel charts are composed of a single set of numbers. If your dataset includes multiple columns, the funnel chart will use the values found in the first column. If you want to chart a different set of values, rearrange the order of your columns.

The Bars tab
