What This Template Offers
A pre-built Sankey diagram showing energy flow from sources through a power grid to end consumers - ready to adapt to your own data.
- Multi-source to multi-target flow layout (solar, wind, gas, nuclear to residential, commercial, industrial)
- Color-coded nodes for instant visual distinction between flow categories
- Configurable node width, spacing, and link transparency
- Visible flow values and labels for at-a-glance understanding
- Animated transitions that make presentations more engaging
Use cases
Perfect Use Cases
Budget & Cost Allocation
Replace the energy nodes with revenue streams and cost centers to visualize where money comes from and where it goes across departments.
Supply Chain & Logistics
Map raw materials flowing from suppliers through manufacturing stages to finished product distribution - exposing bottlenecks at a glance.
Website Traffic & Funnel Analysis
Trace visitors from traffic sources through landing pages to conversions, making drop-off points obvious for optimization decisions.
Customize
How to Customize
Edit nodes and links
Replace the default energy nodes with your own categories, then set the flow value for each link to reflect real quantities.
Apply your color scheme
Assign individual colors to each node or switch to the gradient mode to let link colors blend between source and target for a polished look.
Adjust layout and labels
Fine-tune node width, spacing, and font sizes so the diagram reads clearly at any size - then export as PNG or SVG for slides or reports.
Key Benefits
- Start immediately with realistic sample data - no blank-canvas paralysis
- Interactive config panel - change any value and see results live
- Export-ready output suitable for reports, dashboards, and presentations
- AI-assisted generation - describe your flow in plain language and get a chart instantly
Pro Tips
- Keep the number of nodes under 10 for the clearest, most readable Sankey diagram - combine minor categories into an 'Other' node when needed.
- Use contrasting colors for source nodes and muted tones for intermediate nodes so readers follow the dominant flows intuitively.
- Upload a CSV with your source, target, and value columns to populate a large Sankey in seconds using the Pro file upload feature.
