The videos are only 2-3 minutes each, video on Live Link to Microsoft Excel is 10 mins. e!Sankey YouTube ChannelThe main windows in e!SankeyIn this video tutorial you will get an introduction of the main elements (windows) of e!Sankey: the drawing area of the Editor, the Properties dialog, the Entries window, and the Controller.First Steps: Drawing a Sankey diagram in e!SankeyThis video will show you the first basic steps to draw a Sankey diagram in e!Sankey. You learn how to place process symbols and draw an arrow between them. Then you can add a flow in the Sankey arrow and specify a flow quantity. These basic steps are all you need to remember to draw Sankey diagams.Arrow points, waypoints and arrow routingLearn about the arrow points and waypoints for Sankey arrows and how they can be used to determine the routing of arrows in the diagrams made with e!Sankey.Connectivity: How arrows connect to processesThis video explains how arrows behave when processes they are connected to are moved in the Sankey diagram. The 'Connectivity' setting in the process properties determine to which side of the process (left, top, right, bottom) the arrow connects to. By default it is set to 'Free', and the arrow will just take the shortest route. As you choose another setting for connectivity in e!Sankey, the arrow is forced to attach to a process on a specific side.e!Sankey Live Link to Microsoft Excel - Part 1This video tutorial will show you how to link to cells in a Microsoft Excel worksheet and feed a Sankey diagram with data.e!Sankey Live Link to Microsoft Excel - Part 2In this sequel to the Live Link video Part 1 we demonstrate how to update an e!Sankey diagram with data series from different years using Excel functions.In the user manual of e!Sankey all features of the software are described in detail.

Sankey DiagramsSankey diagrams visualize material, energy and cost flows shown proportionally to the flow quantity. They are often used in energy management, manufacturing or in fields of science.Visualization of material and energy flowsUniversally and versatilely deployableWidth of the arrows is proportional to the flow quantityNamed after the Irish engineer Captain Matthew H.R. Sankey (1853-1925)Sankey Diagram – Definition:Sankey diagrams feature directed arrows that have a width proportional to the flow quantity visualized: if a flow is twice as wide it represents double the quantity. Flow diagrams can show e.g. energy, materials, water or costs.Within a Sankey chart the directed flow is always drawn between at least two nodes (processes). Thus it shows not only values but also information about the structure and distribution of the defined system. So they are a great alternative to common flow or bar & pie charts. Areas of ApplicationThey are gaining popularity in energy management, facility management, process engineering and process control and many other kinds of data visualization (Energy, material & supply chain management or business & marketing analysis). Benefits of Sankey DiagramsIn comparison to a conventional bar or pie chart and even a flow chart, they are more suitable for visualizing the energy balance or material streams.Sankey charts draw the attention to the largest and most significant entries within a system. Additionally, through the visualization data inconsistencies can be detected, such as measurement and transmission errors. The first illustration of energy with arrows proportional to the amount were done by the Irish engineer Captain Matthew Henry Phineas Riall Sankey in 1898. He compared the efficiency of steam engines.Before that this kind of diagram had been used by the French engineer Charles Joseph Minard to visualize Napoleon's Russian Campaign of 1812.Captain Sankey only drew that one chart. Thus they fell into oblivion over the years. In the 20th century the Austrian mechanical engineer Alois Riedler (1850-1936) started to use these charts to analyze the power and the energy losses of passenger cars.In the course of this the Sankey diagram gained popularity, especially in Germany, where the economy focused on material and energy efficiency due to the reparation payments after World War I.Today this kind of chart is used worldwide for data visualization, e.g. in material flow analyzes and energy management systems.Below you find some examples of several Sankey diagrams. Each diagram was created using our software e!Sankey. Just try out by yourself, how easy it is, to create appealing Sankey diagrams using e!Sankey.In this diagram (in German) you can see the energy balance for a passenger car. Besides the energy actually used for motion at the wheel ("mechanische Energie") a large part of is lost, especially as heat losses. Additionally we can identify the additional consumers (water pump, steering support, etc.) in the car.The figures are given as percentage values, as well as in absolute numbers (based on a fuel consumption of 6,57 Liter/100 km). All arrows within the chart can be distinguished by color, and are – by definition – proportional in their width
