We would like this feature as well. We would like to integrate the funnel
visualization into our dashboard.

We are trying to analyze preview pages as well as login procedure pages for a 
range 
of websites and we currently use funnel visualization for this.
However, we manage hundreds of websites and going through the GA web interface 
for 
each of them is a drag! 
We would like to be able to access, through the GA API, all possible funnel 
data, 
such as starts, completions, content in each step (URIs,actions,...), 
abandonment and 
entrances at each step.
Also, it would be great with the option of creating funnels and goals through 
the 
API.

Interesting discussion. The funnels are a nice tools but I would like more 
detailed
info than these funnels provide.   My Use Case:

I have the ideal goal sequence - A>B>C>D>E>F
5 users only complete A>B>C
10 users complete the happy path A>B>C>D>E>F
20 users do this path A>B>C>D>C>B     The users are backing up and then 
quitting.
6 users A>B>C>D>E>F>A>B>C>D           The users cycle thru but start over again 
and
then quit.

The goal tool aggregates over all users to produce the funnel which is masking 
very
important user behaviors.  What is needed is a chart of each unique sequence of 
user
transitions thru the path and a frequency count of the number of users 
performing
that sequence.  Average duration time on each page in a sequence would be good 
too.

What's the status of this? We've been trying to find a way to get this into our 
custom dashboard for several days 
without any success now.

I would also like to be able to access funnel information related to a goal, so 
that I can better inform my clients of weak points in their funnels as well as 
see how different visitor segments behave as they move through the funnel.

Yes, without the statistics from each step of a funnel the goal's information 
is seriously lacking. There's no way to tell which step is the weakest and 
needs to be worked on.

I also would like to pull full conversions funnels with their names and URL's. 
If this would be possible my customers would not need to manually reproduce the 
settings in my product which is an add on to GA.

This would be massively useful for us.

Our ecommerce clients are begging for this data. We can export the data from 
GA, but there is not a flat file option so importing into a database means we 
have to clean up the file, which is a manual effort. Just pulling page paths 
isn't the same. This is a critical piece of data!!!

It would be great if there is any solution to get through the url of the funnel 
visualization to track down the abandonment rates and conversions

Looks like the enhancement is accepted, Is there any time line fixed for the 
release?

Original comment by anitha.m...@gmail.com on 9 Nov 2010 at 8:58

[GoogleCodeExporter]

We've definitely heard you and we're looking at it.

The data this represents is a bit different than dimensions / metrics so, 
structurally, would be different than the current Data Feed, and probably would 
require a new type of XML schema to represent. We're also looking at 
alternative options on exposing this type of data that might be more flexible 
in general.

So unfortunately we're still looking at it.

Please do this!  I need to be able to trend funnel completion by day or week 
for example at each page/step.

Also in the API remember to give us ability to set the first step to be 
"Required"

Thanks!

any news on this issue? I need to retrieve funnels details as i can see them 
from the GA dashboard, with entries and paths for every step of the 
funnel....is it possible? Or can someone tell me another way to accomplish that?

Thanks

It occurred to me after unified segments arrived that the Sequential conditions 
provides a way of tracking progress and abandonment for a funnel using segments.

As these segments can be access through the API it could also be automated.

Have not had the need to do this since, so have not tested it out. If anyone 
does try it would be great to see a report here.

Dynamic segments are very useful for reporting funnel navigation via the
API. I recently answered similar question on Quora:
http://www.quora.com/Can-I-get-the-data-from-Google-Analytics-funnel-visulizatio
n-using-R
Each step in the funnel is a count of sessions that visited defined pages.
Dynamic segments have a syntax e.g.
sessions::condition::ga:pagePath=~/cart;sessions::condition::ga:pagePath=~/purch
ase-step1
what would bring you the number of sessions that visited both the cart and
step1.
