The funnel chart is typically used for showing data in flows and processes. From a display standpoint it is related to the pie chart. The chart may be shown with either segment height/width or segment area proportional to data. It is also possible to draw the chart with equal segment heights/widths, disregarding data points.
Funnel Chart: Object Menu
The object menu can
be opened as a context menu by right-clicking on a sheet object, or by clicking the 
icon in the object caption (if shown).
The commands in the menu may vary depending on whether WebView is used from inside QlikView or opening the document in a web browser. The menu contains the following commands:
| Properties... |
Opens the Properties dialog for the active sheet object. |
| Notes |
Allows creating and sharing notes about the current object. |
| Detach | The chart title is appended with the text “(Detached)” and the chart is no longer updated with selections made in the document (though selections may actually still be made from the chart). The command is available only if the chart is attached. By making a copy of a chart and detaching it, you may make direct comparisons between the copy and the original. |
| Attach | Attaches a detached chart. The chart becomes dynamically linked to the data. The command is available only if the chart is detached. |
| Set Reference | By choosing this option you set a chart reference, i.e. a fixed plot of the chart with the current selections. When further selections are made in the document the reference plot remains, dimmed in the background. Chart axes etc will be adjusted to always include the maximum of the background data set and the current data set. The current data set is always plotted on top of the reference plot, i.e. some portions of the reference plot may be obscured by the current data set plot. The display of reference chart plots is only possible in some chart types, e.g. bar charts, line charts, combo charts, radar charts, scatter charts, grid charts and gauge charts with needles. It is not possible to set a reference for a chart that contains a drill-down or a cyclic group. The reference will be lost when closing the document or when reloading data. The maximum number of objects that can be included when using the Set Reference option is 500. |
| Clear Reference | This command is replaced with the Set Reference command when a reference is set. By choosing it the previously set reference will be cleared and the chart will revert to normal plot mode. |
| Clear All Selections |
Clears all the current selections in the active sheet object. Clicking on the |
| Copy |
Copies the selected sheet object(s) to the clipboard. This function only copies sheet objects, not data or images. |
| Print... |
Opens the selected sheet object(s) in tabular format in another browser window. Clicking on the |
| Send to Excel |
Exports possible (including selected) values to Microsoft Excel, which is automatically launched if not already running. The exported values will appear as one column in a new Excel worksheet. For this functionality to work Microsoft Excel 2007 or later must be installed on the computer. Clicking on the |
| Export... |
Opens the Save as dialog where path, file name and (table) file type for the exported data content can be specified. |

The Properties dialog is opened by selecting Properties from the Object menu. If the Properties command is dimmed, you probably do not have the privileges necessary to perform property changes.
| Dimensions |
Choose dimensions in the drop-down list. To add a dimension, click DimensionEnable ConditionalMarking this check box hides or shows the dimension dynamically, depending on the value of a condition expression entered, by clicking the DimensionDisplays the currently selected dimension. Show LabelMark this check box to show a dimension label (the field name) on the x-axis. Suppress Null ValuesIf this check box is marked, the field selected as Dimension above will not be displayed in the chart if its value is NULL. Show All ValuesMark this check box to show all the dimension field values in the chart, including logically excluded values. Show Axis LabelsMark this check box to show legend (names of field values) on the x-axis for the selected dimension field. Limit Axis Label CharactersMark this check box to limit the length of the dimension value strings to be shown on axes and in the chart legend. Specify the number of characters in the input field, or drag the slider to the desired value. Truncated values will be followed by ... in the chart. This option can be used independently to the other options in this group. Trellis Setting First DimensionMarking this check box will enable the trellis chart, where an array of charts that are based on the chart's first dimension are displayed. Fixed Number of ColumnsEnter the number of columns you want the trellis chart to display. Specify the number of columns in the input field, or drag the slider to the desired value. Fixed Number of RowsEnter the number of rows you want the trellis chart to display. Specify the number of rows in the input field, or drag the slider to the desired value. Second DimensionEnables the second dimension in the trellis chart. If a secondary dimension is used, the first dimension values will be displayed as columns in the trellis matrix, whereas the secondary dimension values will be displayed as rows in the trellis matrix. SortSets the sort order of the values in the sheet object. Some sort options may not be available for all sheet objects. If more than one sort order is specified, the sort order will be state, expression, frequency, numeric, text, load order. State refers to the logical state (selected, optional, or excluded). Primary Sort Y-ValueSets whether the dimension values should be sorted according to the numeric value of the y-axis. This option is not available for calculated dimensions. Frequency Sorts the field values by frequency (number of concurrences in the table). Numeric Value Sorts the field values by their numeric values. Text Sorts the field values in alphabetical order. Load Order Sorts the field values by the initial load order. Secondary Sort FrequencySorts the field values by frequency (number of concurrences in the table). Numeric Value Sorts the field values by their numeric values. Text Sorts the field values in alphabetical order. Load Order Sorts the field values by the initial load order. Sort by Expression Sorts the field values according to the expression entered. The value may be entered as a calculated formula. Click to open the Edit Expression dialog. Keep Selected on Top Enable this to keep the selected values on top.LimitsRestrict which values are displayed using the first expressionThese properties are used to determine how many dimension values are displayed in the chart, according to settings made below. Show onlySelect this option if you want to show the First, Largest or Smallest x number of values. If this option is set to 5, there will be five values displayed. If the dimension has Show Others enabled, the Others segment will take up one of the five display slots. Show only values that are:Select this option to display all dimensions values that meet the specified condition for this option. Select to display values based on a percentage of the total, or on an exact amount. The relative to the total option enables a relative mode which is similar to the Relative option on the Expressions tab of the property dialog. The value may be entered as a calculated formula. Click Show only values that accumulate to:When this option is selected,all rows up to the current row are accumulated, and the result is compared to the value set in the option. The relative to the total option enables a relative mode which is similar to the Relative option on the Expressions tab of the property dialog, and compares the accumulated values (based on first, largest or smallest values) to the overall total. The value may be entered as a calculated formula. Click Show OthersEnabling this option will produce an Others segment in the chart. All dimension values that do not meet the comparison criteria for the display restrictions will be grouped into the Others segment. If there are dimensions after the selected dimension, Collapse Inner Dimensions will control whether individual values for the subsequent / inner dimensions display on the chart. Show TotalThe chart will display a total for the selected dimension when this option is enabled. This total behaves differently than the expression total, which is still configured on the Expressions tab of the property dialog. Use Global Grouping ModeThe option only applies to inner dimensions. When this option is enabled the restrictions will be calculated on the selected dimension only. All previous dimensions will be ignored. If this is disabled, the restrictions are calculated based on all preceding dimensions. |
