EDIT TO SOLUTION: Since this thread has gone in a few directions after the initial question, I’m including a brief primer on path analysis (or Sankey diagrams) in SAS Visual Analytics for those landing here for the first time. This blog post goes into much more detail and includes more screenshots.
In a nutshell, a path analysis helps you determine a sequence of events in a particular time window. Path analysis can be applied to a number of scenarios from understanding your customers’ behavior online, campaign analysis to help drive your next email campaign, prospect or existing customer touch point paths, and more.
The blog post presents a very basic example of path analysis that shows shared paths and other commonalities among data streams. The simple example allows for aggregation and colorization, and gives you the ability to weigh paths by a given measure. Example:
With a more advanced data set, you see a sharp increases in the number of paths, and ranking and segmentation become even more important. Segmentation is an effective grouping method that reduces the overall number of events, and you can create custom categories in SAS Visual Analytics to achieve this. This aggregated view produces a much simpler Sankey diagram.
You also have the option of path filtering where you can select one or more events and include or exclude the items by various conditions. Example:
In addition, SAS Visual Analytics provides a number of options to filter and rank paths. Example:

Hi,
Well, SAS Visual Analytics supports Sankey diagrams (named Path Analysis). These won't be as animated as in your example though. There is a blog with some information to get started at https://blogs.sas.com/content/sascom/2014/08/19/path-analysis-with-sas-visual-analytics.
Hope this helps!
