Help needed: Sankey diagram

Hi-

 

Have anyone had success using the Sankey diagram viz that was published recently (mid-December '15) to Visuals Gallery?

 

I downloaded and imported the visual to PowerBI Desktop but couldn't get it to plot. I tried three different data sets-- from real data sets to a tiny toy data set-- but it simply wouldn't plot. It would show a blank box showing nothing but chart title.

 

Did I miss a step? Does Sankey viz require a specific data format for it to plot?

 

Thanks in advance for your help!

 

-Kyle

Hey Kyle - sorry you're running into problems with this. I've uploaded a workbook of sample data that should work with the Sankey diagram here: https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=D1AE0ADF6D40C71A!661192&authkey=!APGM2aVCqsZQNXs&ithint=file%2... Hope that helps!

Thanks for pointing me to the example data, BUT it still wouldn't plot (showing only chart title).

 

Makes me wonder- Do I have download some javascript or d3 component for the visual to show?

 

FYI, I am using PowerBI desktop. Saved the example data to my local machine and then added the downloaded data to the PowerBI project. Then I try to use Sankey visual with no avail.

UPDATE: Your spreadsheet did work, I just needed to upgrade to the latest release of Power BI for desktop.

 

Hi Will, that did not work for me. The visualization is just blank. Here were my steps:

(1) download the spreadsheet

(2) open PowerBI for Desktop

(3) import the spreadsheet table

(4) select all three fields, creating a table in the viewer

(5) selected the Sankey visualization

 

Any advice?

I upgraded to the latest release of PowerBI desktop and it worked.

Excellent, glad it worked for you! Please mark the post a 'Solved' so we know the thread's complete 🙂
