Other Chart Preset
Funnel
Funnel is an OPF other chart preset with canonical workbook metadata, sample data, and engine chart type mapping.
Use Case
Use a specialized visual when standard bars, lines, and areas would obscure the pattern.
Data Requirements

Group
Specialty chart presets for variance, flow, distribution, or comparison cases.
Series
1 series across 5 categories
Workbook Range
Sheet1!$A$1:$F$2

When to Use
Use when the chart type directly matches the analytical question and the audience can read it quickly.
When to Avoid
Avoid specialty visuals when a simpler chart would make the same point with less explanation.
Best Practices
Explain the encoding in the title or subtitle
Keep annotations close to the data
Prefer clarity over novelty
