Advanced Excel Charts 简明教程

Advanced Excel - Funnel Chart

漏斗图用于可视化在数据从一个阶段传递到另一个阶段时渐进的减少。这些阶段中的每个阶段的数据均表示为 100%(整体)的不同部分。与饼图类似,漏斗图也不使用任何坐标轴。

Funnel chart is used to visualize the progressive reduction of data as it passes from one phase to another. Data in each of these phases is represented as different portions of 100% (the whole). Like the Pie chart, the Funnel chart does not use any axes either.

例如,在销售渠道中,将有如下所示的阶段。

For example, in a sales pipeline, there will be stages as shown below.

潜在客户 → 合格潜在客户 → 提议 → 谈判 → 最终销售。

Prospects → Qualified Prospects → Proposals → Negotiations → Final Sales.

通常,这些值将逐渐降低。许多潜在客户被识别出来,但其中一部分被验证,甚至更少的一部分获得了提案资格。来谈判的数字更少,最终只有为数不多的交易获胜。这将使这些条形图类似于漏斗。

Typically, the values decrease gradually. Many prospects are identified, but a part of them are validated and even lesser qualify for Proposals. A still lesser number come for negotiations and in the end, there is only a handful of deals that are won. This will make the bars resemble a funnel.

What is a Funnel Chart?

漏斗图显示了一个从初始状态开始、以最终状态结束的过程,在该过程中可以明显看出流失发生在哪些阶段以及流失的规模如何。如果该图表还与研究数据相结合,即对在销售或订单履行过程的每个步骤中丢失了多少项目的量化测量,那么漏斗图将说明流程中最大的瓶颈在哪里。

The Funnel chart shows a process that starts at the initial state and ends with a final state, where it is noticeable in what stages the fall out happens and by what magnitude. If the chart is also combined with research data, meaning quantified measurements of just how many items are lost at each step of the sales or order fulfillment process, then the Funnel chart illustrates where the biggest bottlenecks are in the process.

与真正的漏斗不同,并不是所有从顶部倒入的东西都会流向底部。该名称仅指图表形状,其目的是为了说明。

Unlike a real funnel, not everything that is poured in at the top flows through to the bottom. The name only refers to the shape of the chart, the purpose of which is illustrative.

漏斗图的另一种变体是以 100%(整体)的不同部分表示每个阶段的数据,以显示变化沿着漏斗发生的速率。

Another variant of Funnel chart is where the data in each of these phases is represented as different portions of 100% (the whole), to show at what rate the changes occur along the Funnel.

与饼图类似,漏斗图也不使用任何坐标轴。

Like the Pie chart, the Funnel chart does not use any axes either.
