FAQ

Creating a Sankey chart in PowerPoint involves a step-by-step process. A Sankey chart is a flow diagram where the width of the arrows is proportional to the flow quantity. While PowerPoint does not have a built-in feature to create Sankey charts, you can still create them manually by using shapes and lines.

Here’s how you can do it:

1. Create a base: Start by inserting a rectangle shape to represent your base. The length of this shape will represent the total quantity of flow.
2. Insert flows: For each flow, insert a line shape. The width of the line should be proportional to the quantity it represents. Use the ‘Size’ settings to adjust the width of the line.
3. Position flows: Position the lines on the base shape in correspondence with the flow they represent. Use the ‘Move’ tool to place the lines appropriately.
4. Create subdivisions: If a flow splits into sub-flows, create smaller line shapes to represent each sub-flow. Again, the width of each line should be proportional to the quantity it represents.
5. Color and label: You can use different colors for different flows to make the chart more readable. Also, add text boxes to label each flow and sub-flow with their quantities.

Note that creating a Sankey chart manually in PowerPoint can be time-consuming and might require some practice to get the proportions right. If you have complex data, you might want to consider using a specialized software or tool to create Sankey diagrams, then import them into your PowerPoint presentation.
