Any action or view that happens between two steps in a funnel does not impact the step-by-step or overall conversion rate. As long as step A and C happen in the right order in a given session at least once, it counts as a single converted session.

Any action or view that does not match a funnel step does not impact the step-by-step or overall conversion rate. If all funnel steps occur in the right order within the conversion window, Datadog counts the session as a single converted session.
Datadog calculates the average time between steps by averaging the total duration between the first and last step of each conversion over the total number of steps.
