Tableau Funnel Chart

Tableau Funnel Chart is useful to visualize the Data in stage-wise. For example, we can use the Funnel Charts to visualize the production cost, Wastage percentage, or the number of resources we used in each stage of our product development.

Tableau supports two types of Funnel Charts they are Traditional and Advanced. This article shows how to Create an advanced Funnel Chart with an example.
