Creating a funnel chart in Power BI is a great way to visualize data that flows through stages in a process. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you create one:

Step-by-Step Guide 

1. Open Power BI Desktop:

Launch Power BI Desktop on your computer.

2. Load Your Data:

Load the data into Power BI.

3. Select the Funnel Chart:

5. Customize the Funnel Chart:

You can customize the appearance of your funnel chart by using the "Format" pane.

Share your report by publishing it to the Power BI service, where others can view and interact with it.
