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

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 here and that's it. It's very simple. Thanks.

It is possible to create diagrams from shapes using VBA but it is not for the faint-hearted.
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.
