Creating Sankey Diagrams

Hi,

Does anyone have any guides for creating Sankey Diagrams in Excel.

I deal with the analysis of a reasonably long process which has various customer inputs and outcomes.

I am looking for a visual way to show everyone who came into the process, and what happened to each person.

Sankey Diagrams seem to fit that bill perfectly.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

T

    If you are looking for a Sankey diagram that fits the bill perfectly, I recommend using the Sankey Diagram by VisioChart for Excel.

    HiTom_By ,

     

    To create Sankey diagrams in Excel, you will need to install an external add-in tool called Power-user. You can install it here - https://www.powerusersoftwares.com/. After installing the add-in, you will have to follow various steps as discussed https://mychartguide.com/how-to-draw-sankey-diagram-in-excel/ and that's it. It's very simple. Thanks.

    That's not out of the box for Excel, but you may find add-in(s) in Store or third-party solutions. It names as well as Data Flow chart is to search.
