Create a funnel chart in everviz
Follow the steps in this article to create a funnel chart in everviz.
Funnel charts are great for tracking the reduction of a quantity over time or from one process to another.
The example we’ll create lets us see how a salesperson’s sales pipeline starts off with a large amount of leads that are then funnelled through to a smaller set of closed sales. We can see how many initial leads were successfully converted to the next stage and use this information to assess sales performance or create a strategy to improve lead conversion.
To create a funnel chart:
- Launch the project wizard and select Chart to launch the chart wizard
- Select Funnel from the Chart type section to the left of the chart wizard’s screen. Notice that the preview pane changes to reflect the chart type you’ve chosen
- Click Next to move to the Data step where you can enter the data for your chart
- Click the top-left cell (A1) in the data table and press CTRL+A to select all the data in it
- Press the delete key to remove the example data
- Copy this example data and paste it into the data table at the top-left cell (A1). You’ll see the newly added data reflected in the preview chart
- Click Next to move to the Design screen where you can choose a theme for your chart. Click an available theme to see how it looks, or stick with the default theme
- Click Next to move to the Text & Annotations screen where you can add contextual information to your chart, such as a title, axis labels and a caption
- Click Next to move to the Save or Publish screen where you can save your chart for later amendment or use, or publish your chart
- Alternatively, you can click the Continue in Editor button to edit the chart further with more granular options
