常見問題
What does this Sankey diagram show?
A Sankey diagram shows how a quantity moves through stages. Link width is proportional to the value flowing between each source and target.
How should I read this Sankey diagram?
Balance each flow where possible and label the unit and reporting period. That lets the reader distinguish an operational total from a rate or percentage.
Can I adapt this Sankey diagram example?
Yes. Replace the title, labels and values with your own data, then check that the prompt still describes every important element in the chart.
