Funnel Charts
In This Topic
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 Using the Chart Control on sheet or Adding a Chart Control.
Using Code
- Add data for the chart with the FunnelSeries class.
- Specify the plot area using the YPlotArea class.
- Set the position and size of the plot area.
- Add a series to the plot area.
- Create a chart model and add the plot area to this model.
- Create a chart and set a chart model for this chart.
- Add the chart to SPREAD.
