Funnel charts

Funnel charts represent data across multiple stages, showing how values decrease as data progresses through a process. They are useful for visualizing sales pipelines, conversion funnels, recruitment stages, and any multi-step process where you need to understand drop-off rates between stages.

Data requirements

To create a Funnel chart, you need:

  • At least one measure

  • At least one attribute representing the funnel stages

New capabilities

The new charts library funnel chart introduces the following capabilities not available in the classic version:

  • Faceting and Trellis chart modes — Partition Funnel charts into faceted grids or trellis small multiples for multidimensional analysis.

  • Improved percentage calculations — Enhanced calculation options for percentages, including:

    • Change from previous step

    • Change from first step

    • Percentage of total

  • New funnel configurations — Support for additional funnel layouts:

    • Funnel with multiple measures and no attributes

    • Funnel with multiple measures and one attribute

Behavior changes

When migrating from the classic Funnel chart to the new charts library version, note the following changes:

  • Visual appearance — The new Funnel chart uses ranged bars instead of polygons, giving it a different aesthetic appearance.

  • Multiple attributes with one measure — Multiple attributes with one measure will not create concatenated funnel slices. Instead, faceting is applied.

  • Sorting behavior — Sorting by attribute or value changes the actual bar order in the new renderer.

  • Custom font support — Custom font settings apply differently compared to classic charts.

  • Null and empty handling — Null and empty values are handled differently in the new renderer.

  • Non-visualized fields in tooltip — Adding non-visualized fields to tooltips is not supported in the new Funnel chart.
