[Click here to find all my Sankey Chart series]
One-minute mini tutorial
A project at work requires to create Sankey charts for various data sets. Yes, people just love Sankey charts. Unfortunately it's a rather complex chart to create from scratch.
I found my early effort 1, 2 don't create Sankeys as nice as I wanted. Then I fell on Ken Flerlage's Sankey template, which is based on the earlier works of Jeffrey Schaffer and Olivier Catherin. Yes, that's what I am looking for, because I will hand over it to someone who is a beginner in Tableau. Greatly inspired by Ken's work, I went on to create a simpler template as described here. Now I believe that anyone with basic Tableau skills can create Sankey charts in case of need. It is as easy as 1-2-3.
