Using a funnel
A funnel shows simplified data in graphic form using several, stacked slices. Each slice represents a group of data. A slice that you select on the funnel separates from the rest of the funnel to highlight the visualization. The following tabs appear in Definition:
*Measure: Use the buttons to add or delete measures and formulas. To edit an existing measure, double-click it.
*Values: Provide the data to use in the segmentation and measure.
*Properties: Select whether to display values or percentages.
