Update dynamically changing Sankey graph E! Sankey pro

When doing monthly reports or releasing streaming data on a regular basis, you may only need to update the traffic values in the Sankey diagram and not want to redraw it, as this would undoubtedly take a lot of time and repetitive work. To help solve this problem, we talked to e! Sankey Pro has added Live Links to help you draw/update Sankey diagrams more efficiently: First, create a Live link between Sankey diagrams and Microsoft Excel for data association. Once the data in an Excel spreadsheet (cell) is updated, it is immediately synchronized to e! Sankey components. When these values change, both the traffic size and the arrow width are automatically readjusted. This way, you can always keep the sankey graph data up to date with minimal effort, and you won't have to redo the drawing. In addition, if you use the function calculation function of Excel, you can calculate the size of other traffic values based on the given traffic value.

?

?

?

?

1. Update the traffic value synchronously.

2. Avoid human error during data input;

3. Can use function formula in Excel to calculate traffic, even can use VBA;

4. Data can be retained in Excel tables to facilitate the generation of other types of statistical charts;

Export the Sankey diagram and save it as an image or graphic file for adding to an Excel worksheet.

Auxiliary computing function E! Sankey calc

We provide users with the most powerful e! Sankey Calc version. New to this release is computing. The software calculates the values of other streams based on the values of existing streams in one process, eliminating tedious and error-prone manual calculations. Calculation includes: merge, sum, difference, split, transform, automatic, etc.

?

1. Merge: Take all incoming arrow traffic and pass them to a single output arrow, the same input traffic will be merged.
2. Sum: Calculates the Sum of all input flows and creates an output stream at the output arrow.
3. Difference: Calculate the Difference of surrounding traffic and create an output stream at the output arrow.
4. Split: Take all the traffic and pass it to the output arrow, the traffic is Split according to a given ratio.
5. ?Transform: Calculate the sum of all input traffic and select input items for each output arrow to create traffic. Values are calculated based on a given ratio.

1. The CSV file provides source data

CSV files or streams with key-value pairs can be input into an existing Sankey graph template as a data source. Updates a given flow value or string to the corresponding sankey diagram element by the ID value.

2. Using XML to automatically build Sankey diagrams

The XML file contains structural information about the Sankey diagram, such as nodes and their location coordinates, arrows, traffic, and units. The user can programmatically transform the XML into a Sankey diagram with a certain layout structure. This feature is especially useful for sankey diagrams where the layout is not fixed or the layout changes frequently.
