Help Needed: Creating Sankey Diagram

I am trying to create a sankey diagram using the data below but when I try doing so all I get is a blank visual. Is my data formatted incorrectly or am I missing something?

 

I was able to use the example data from a youtube video and the sankey diagram worked fine then.

Hi @mwasserman,

 

I can't reproduce your issue, it works fine on my side, can you provide more detail?

BTW, if you drag count in weight field, zero value not display in sankey diagram.

I was able to create a basic sankey diagram after changing the file from Excel to a CSV. I'm new to Power BI and sankey diagrams- @Anonymous did you customize your sankey to display the way yours did? Mine can be seen below but I think your diagram format could be more helpful for viewers.

Hi @mwasserman,


No, I haven't modify setting, I think it may related to my sample files.

Hi @Anonymous, 

 

Would you be willing to share one of your sample files so that I could see how to create a sankey similar to yours?

 

Best, 

Matt
