Sankey diagram

Hello all,

I recently saw a Sankey diagram generated from SAS VA. It looks cool and eye-catching.

I wonder if it can be created from the coding on SAS graph with 9.4 M5 that is version I currently have.

or would anyone who already generated SAS code like to share?

Thanks,

Ethan

Google can be your friend.

The second result from "Sankey Diagram SAS" yields:

https://blogs.sas.com/content/graphicallyspeaking/2015/03/21/sankey-diagrams/

which has a text file you can download with an example data set and code that uses SGPLOT to make said diagram.

Note: The Blog article on "Sankey Diagram" that BallardW has referred to was only my attempt to show how some SGPLOT statements can be used to create a flow diagram. In the figure, I was attempting to create a diagram a user wanted. The coordinate points are very customized and will vary by your usage.

There is no "Sankey" statement in SG that will take your data and produce a nice Sankey diagram like the one in VA. However, we hope we can surface that code in a procedure in the future.

Appreciate the insights and hope "Sankey" option in SG from next SAS version.

Hello @Jay54 ! I was wondering if there has being an update to developing a Sankey chart using SAS Enterprise Guide or SAS Studio :). Thanks in advance for your response! FYI, I am part of a University and we have the Educational Analytics Suite in case that helps figuring out what environments I have access to ( I know that SAS Viya for Learners would not work given the restriction to upload my own data).
