3D Funnel Chart

Good afternoon everybody,
is there a web site and or someone that could help me in setting up,step
by step a 3D Funnel Chart?
Thank for the help
Giovanni

3D Funnel charts are among the worst graph types you could use. They're
based on a flawed metaphor, and this faulty metaphor makes the graph very
difficult to interpret properly. I describe the problem and offer
alternatives here:

thank you Jon , I know that they are not the best way to show data but I
wouldlike to know how I can build up such a graph; is there a web site
describing step by step how to do that or a pre-cooked examples?
Thank you anyway
Giovanni

These are not available in Excel. I'm sure Google could help you find a
vendor who will sell you a package that produces funnel charts. There's no
step-by-step procedures, it's data in, garbage out.

I'm probably going to information graphics hell for this :-), but you
*can* sort of do a 3D Funnel in Excel:

I don't say you *should*, but you can.

I will discover how has been done; the important fact is that I have an
example ; credit to Mr. Del Cotter for this. As I said before I know that is
not the best way of showing data but as a matter of fact just to understand
how it is possible to build such a graph.
Thank you again Mr. Del Cotter.
Giò

LOL

Here is something similar
http://www.edferrero.com/Content/Scatter_Pyramid.xls

Just format the y-Axis and check 'values in reverse order' to get your
funnel.

(oh yes, I think the calculations are wrong, but it hardly matters for this
sort of chart)
