🔻 Day 30: Funnel Chart in Python

🔹 What is a Funnel Chart?

A Funnel Chart visualizes a process where data moves through stages, typically showing decrease at each step.

It’s called a funnel because the shape narrows as values drop.

---

🔹 When Should You Use It?

Use a funnel chart when:

• Showing conversion stages

• Tracking sales pipeline

• Visualizing process drop-offs

• Analyzing user journey steps

---

🔹 Example Scenario

Website Conversion Funnel:

1. Website Visitors

2. Product Views

3. Add to Cart

4. Purchases

Each stage usually has fewer users than the previous one.

---

🔹 Key Idea Behind It

👉 Top stage = largest value
👉 Each next stage = reduced value
👉 Highlights where drop-offs happen

---

🔹 Python Code (Funnel Chart using Plotly)

import plotly.graph_objects as go

stages = ["Visitors", "Product Views", "Add to Cart", "Purchases"]
values = [1000, 700, 400, 200]

fig = go.Figure(go.Funnel(
    y=stages,
    x=values
)) 

fig.update_layout(title="Website Conversion Funnel")

fig.show()

📌 Install Plotly if needed:

pip install plotly
