Funnel chart

The Funnel chart draws a funnel with one block per stage and the value of each stage on it. Use it for a process that loses units from step to step, such as a packing line, a quality gate or an order flow, where the question is at which step the losses happen.

1. Block. One stage. The funnel narrows from the top block to the bottom one. With Dynamic Height on, each block is as tall as its share of the total.
2. Label. The stage name and its value, written on the block, such as Started: 12,000.
3. Last block. The final stage. Blocks follow the order of the stage rows, so sort the Arguments field in process order.

Select a block to filter the other items of the dashboard by that stage. If the item has drill-down turned on, a click drills down into the stage instead. The selected block is drawn darker.

Data fields

Values is required; without it the item stays empty. There are two ways to fill it:

• With Arguments. Each value of the Arguments field, such as a stage name, becomes one block. Use one field in Values: the block takes its size from the first value. With several fields in Arguments, the label joins their values with a dash.
• Without Arguments. Each field in Values becomes one block, labelled with the field's name. Use this when each stage is a separate column, such as a counter per station.

Selecting a block to filter the dashboard needs the Arguments field.

Settings

• Fill type fills the blocks with a flat colour (Solid) or a shaded one (Gradient).
• Curved draws the funnel with curved edges, as if seen slightly from above.
• Dynamic Height makes each block as tall as its value's share of the total. Turned off, all blocks are the same height.
• Pinch count keeps this many blocks at the bottom at the narrow width, like the neck of a funnel. 0 narrows the funnel all the way down.
