Sankey Chart and Hierarchical Data

Hello everyone,

 

This is my first time posting here, however I has already provided with a lot of help.   I'm hoping that you can help me figure this one out.  I'm trying to build a Sankey chart to incorporate hierarchical data but have not been able to so far.

 

My data set looks like this:

 

Start KeyTarget Key
B100O101
B100O102
B106O100
B106O101
B106O102
O100C100
O100C101
O101C102
O101C103
O101C105
O102C104
O102C106
O100C106

 

Parallel to this, I have the three tables explaining the meaning of each of the target and end points. Such as:

Outcome_IDOutcome_Description
O100Maintain as a priority
O101Create new health and safety standards
O102Support through Project 

 

To build the Sanskey chart, this works fine.  The problem comes when I try to filter the results based on one of the values.  If I filter the values on the tables, the tables will show correctly the results, for example, filtering for B100, will show me in the table of Os the O101 and O102, and in the table of Cs the C101, C102, etc.

 

However, the Sanskey chart will only show the connection between Bs and Os, not showing where the flow continues to.  

When I filter in the Sanskey chart, by selecting one of the Middle Nodes, it will show me the full path, however when I select the starting node it will filter the diagram to only show from Start to Mid point (B to O) but no C connections but the tables show all the values that are supposed to.  Additionally, if I try to select the C nodes, nothing will show in the tables.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

    I can't reproduce your issue, the mid node has been highlighted if the start node has been selected. However, I think it's reasonable not to show the full path because sankey chart don't know which path is from Bs to Cs if you select a start node.
