Funnel & Pyramid Charts: What's the best way?

[Graham]

Hi,

I'm looking to implement some Funnel & Pyramid Charts in a current
project, yet not sure of best way at this stage. I have searched group
for "funnel" and "pyramid", yet no results were found.

At the moment, I am using a vertical bar chart eg.

http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=bhs&chco=FF9900&chxt=x,x,y&chxl=1:|Percentage%20converting|2:|Step%206|Step%205|Step%204|Step%203|Step%202|Step%201&chxp=1,50|3,50&chd=t:100,75,44,42,29,3&chbh=a&chs=800x230&chm=N,000000,0,-1,11&chds=0,100

Yet ideally, I am looking for charts similar to those found at this
web page

Has anybody got any useful thoughts or pointers to help me here?

Many thanks

As you have noticed, there is currently no funnel or pyramid chart
type. My suggestion would be to tweak your current chart so that your
bars are centered:

Notice that I added an extra data series for centering purposes (and
gave it a white color) and centered your Text and Data Value Markers.

Hope that helps,
Keith
