Sankey - input data

Jeff_Edwards

Hi community,

I'm trying to create a Sankey chart using the DSS plugin.

I've organised my input data so I have three columns:

Source	Destination	Value
A	B	100
A	C	50
B	D	90
B	E	10
C	D	25
C	E	15
C	F	10

However the chart isn't generating from this.

I've made sure there is no repetition on source/destination names and the chart generates on sankeymatic. What am I missing?

Hi @daniel_13

I know you opened a support ticket on this as well - just to confirm publicly, the plugin does not currently support HDFS datasets as the input dataset.

Thanks,
Sarina

Hi @Jeff_Edwards

When you try and create the chart, are you running into the message "Nothing to display" or another type of message?

I tested out the sample data you provided, and was able to create a browsable and static chart and if I create a browsable chart first, I do encounter the "Nothing to display" message with the following settings:

In order to resolve this, I clicked on Actions > Refresh view, which loads the chart for me:  

 

My chart:

If this was your issue can you test this out and see if that loads the chart for you? If you are seeing a different message, please attach a screenshot of the message and your chart settings in case that helps with troubleshooting!

Thank you,

Hi @SarinaS
,

First of all, thank you so much for running a test of the data. It's reassuring to see that building (some form of) chart is possible for you with the test data.

One thing I notice immediately though is that your chart does not include the B node - everything seems to be routed through C. Was this a copy/paste error maybe, or is there something else going on?

When I try to build the chart I don't actually get any error message. I just have a blank screen.

I also don't seem to have the actions button that you do in the screenshot you shared.

How is your test data stored - does it match the schema below?

Thanks

Hi @Jeff_Edwards

Regarding the missing A->B section, I think that's because I was showing my browsable chart. If I look at the static chart, I do see the B node, I think as expected:

Regarding the blank screen, I think it would be most useful if we could take a look at an instance diagnostic from your instance after you reproduce the issue to determine why you are getting the blank screen. To share it with us, could you open a chat with us (you can do this from the Dataiku home page) or a support ticket? You can just reference this post and my name and we can go from there! 

Thanks,
Sarina
