Filters a whole chain of object in Network Chart Visualisation

Hi everybody,

 

I'm currently trying to put a network chart visualisation in a report. My datas look like the following:
From                       To

---------------------------

Project 1                Strategy 1
Project 1                Strategy 2
Project 2                Strategy 3
Strategy 1              Product 1
Product 1               Authorisation 1
Product 1               Packaging 1

Authorisation 1      Packaging 1
Packaging 1           Item 1

Packaging 1           Item 2

When I put those data in the Network Chart it's working fine. But when I apply a filter on Project 1 for example, it just shows the link Project 1-Strategy 1 and Project 1-Strategy2. My will, if it's possible, would be by filtering on Project 1 to show the complete chain.
Project 1-Strategy 2 but also Project 1-Strategy1-Product1-Authorisation1-Packaging1 etc...

 

By looking in the forum I found one similar concern that mine, https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Filter-for-entire-quot-chain-quot-in-network-sankey-chart-n... but I don't understand what was done to resolve the issue.  Because even with the path function I have in a column the different sequences of the difference objects that are correct but I'm wondering how to put them in the chart to make the filtering working.

 

If anyone has an idea how I could do it, it would be appreciated

 

Thx

Hi @tgo,

 

No. It is not possible to show the complete chain based on the filtering on Project 1. The PATH function mentioned in above link is just a workaround, not completely meets your requirement that using sankey chart.
