I tried Tableau's Sankey Chart Extension so you don't have to

[@kimstrezz]

I had very similar experiences with this extension. I used to build them from scratch and was *so* excited to not have to build a million calculations per category and curve. But for my use cases (following groups of students over time) it's critical that I can keep colors and tooltips consistent over the course of a chart to show flow patterns. This is a huge leap forward, but I think I'll need to keep my manual versions for a while longer. Thanks for this video. It helped confirm what I was seeing and ensured I wasn't missing something critical. :)

Quite disappointed with this. Was also very excited for a short while but vital features are missing. Both for levels and links I need to add the shares / absolute values as a label that's it, all other limitations would be fine. This is just not supported. How to use the diagram in a business context without the ability to actually show how much of the flow is going where is a mystery to me. In the early promo videos of this labels even existed they removed them later. Tableaus attitude is not what I expect of a business parter.

"hacky" solutions still seem to be the best go-to for the time being...
