Ok i managed to figure out why it doesnt't work.

 

It's simply because the Sankey Diagram in Power BI does sort the nodes in function of the Weight, there is no mean to desactive this feature but keeping the weight ?

 

Is there a way to contact the author to give the possibility to add this feature to disable default sort by weight of the nodes ?

 

Thanks by advance !

      Hi @morganvillette ,

       

      I met the same issue exact with you due to the automatically sorting of weight. How do you get rid of this issue?

       

      Thanks,

      Cherie

        Hi Anonymous,

         

        Basically i've learned that the Sankey diagram on Power BI can't compute an infinite number of rows and when you have too many rows to compute, he will order randomly so the only way is to reduce your sample of rows.

         

        For the sort order, i managed to do an alphabetical order like instead of 1-home, 2-products i did A-home, B-products and so the weight order vanished.

         

        Hope it will help you.
