Power BI Custom Visuals are amazing and give us an unlimited amount of possibilities to analyze data!
I will try to make a series of posts where I can show how to use each of them on different scenarios…
Let’s start with the Sankey with Labels.

- This custom visual works with Source, Target and a Value.
- See in the picture below how cool they are presented:
- Note that the thickness of the pipe/line is according to your Value data.

- Some other Sources and Targets and there is a cool result! J
- Publish or upload your Report to Power BI
