Simple Chart Example

A funnel chart is used to show streamlined data; each slice in the funnel represents a process that has filtered out data. The last funnel bears the value that is the final result of the entire procedure.

In this section, you will be shown how you can create a simple funnel chart.

Creating a Simple Funnel Chart

For our example, we will create a funnel chart that shows the purchase-conversion analysis; it will filter out data to finally show how many people, who visited the website, actually ended up purchasing something from the website.

To create a funnel chart, you will need to define the data to be represented on the chart. For our example, this data is shown in the table below:

Process Number of People
Unique Website Visits 1,460,000
Programme Details Section Visits 930,000
Attempts to Register 540,000
Successful Registrations 210,000
Logged In 190,000
Purchased on Introductory Offers 120,000

A funnel chart created to show the above purchase-conversion analysis looks like this:
