Hello, look into Bowtie Chart by MAQ Software.    

The URL to the specific visual is  Bowtie Chart by MAQ Software (microsoft.com)

Show the flow of data from one category/process to another.

Use Bowtie Chart by MAQ Software to quickly compare values in one or more categories. Bowtie Chart by MAQ Software is ideal for displaying sales metrics, such as the flow of a sale from channel to category.

Hi,@makarama,I am glad to help you.
Hello,@foodd,thanks for your concern about this issue.

Your answer is excellent! And I would like to share some additional solutions below.

Have you found a suitable visual, if you have, you can share your solution or mark as a solution any suggestion you find helpful.
If you haven't found a solution yet, you can refer to my suggestion below.
I recommend using decomposition tree visuals in power BI.

The decomposition tree visuals are suitable for hierarchical data and help you analyze the data and drill down to the details of each category.

like this:

Here is the official documentation on the subject, which we hope will be of help to you
