In this blog, we focus on three of them that unlock the full potential of Sankey diagrams for businesses, offering capabilities beyond those found in Tableau’s basic Sankey diagram. While Tableau‘s native feature is a great addition, our extension brings added value that makes it the go-to choice for businesses in need of advanced data visualization capabilities.

Let’s explore the unique advantages of each Sankey diagram type and how ShowMeMore takes them to new heights.

Let’s take a closer look at how financial institutions can take it even further. Just imagine being able to see how money flows within various investment portfolios—like stocks, bonds, and commodities. It’s like peeking into the very core of diversification strategies, pinpointing risks, and discovering amazing opportunities.
