I have a table like below and trying to create a sankey diagram using the free version.
| Customer | Status | Date | applicatoin no | product | Before | After |
| 1 | in | 1/1/2024 | 1 | C | No | D |
| 1 | in | 1/2/2024 | 2 | D | C | No |
| 2 | out | 1/3/2024 | 3 | J | No | C |
| 2 | out | 1/4/2024 | 4 | C | J | M |
| 2 | out | 1/5/2024 | 5 | M | C | No |
| 3 | in | 1/6/2024 | 6 | C | No | L |
| 4 | in | 1/7/2024 | 7 | L | No | C |
| 4 | in | 1/8/2024 | 8 | C | L | No |
In the sankey, I want to show the before->product->after sequence for each customer where product = "C" (highlighted). So its like souce-Before, middle-C, destination-After. Can you please help me create the data table for this. Thanks.
Sorry for the delayed response. I think the previous image wasn't clear. My actual dataset is too large and the names are long. So printing it in the middle is a bit cluttered. Can we make a similar Sankey?
Thanks for this. It works. But below is what I exactly wanted. I hope you can understand the drawing.
| Customer | Before | Product | After |
| 1 | R | C | No |
| 2 | A | C | J |
| 3 | No | C | D |
| 4 | A | C | J |
| 5 | B | C | K |
| 6 | B | C | K |
Thanks for this. Yes, it works. But what exactly I wanted is the below. I just did a drawing. Hope you can understand it.
| Customer | Before | Product | After |
| 1 | R | C | No |
| 2 | A | C | J |
| 3 | No | C | D |
| 4 | A | C | J |
| 5 | B | C | K |
| 6 | B | C | K |
Hi @temptester ,
According to the field information provided by Sankey visual, the best way to show this effect is to enable data link labels.

Hi @temptester ,
You need to put the product field into source labels, and then turn on date link labels in the data format.
