A funnel chart shows values across multiple stages. The values typically decrease at each stage.
Funnel charts are useful for sales and other types of data. For example, determining how many web site visits lead to product purchases.
You can use the FunnelSeries class and the YPlotArea class to add a funnel chart.
For information about creating charts in the Spread Designer or the Chart Designer, refer to Adding a Chart Control or Using the Chart Designer.
Using Code
- Add data for the chart with the FunnelSeries class.
- Specify the plot area.
- Add the chart.
