Hi Tableau enthusiasts,
I believe all Sankey examples out there show the transitions between a main category and a subcategory. My use-case is somehow different and I am sure someone faced this problem before as this type of graph is very common in ecommerce. I am talking about a flow diagram or a Sankey diagram that it is built based on the same field but along two different consecutive visits (with the same visitorid).
For example let's say we are talking about which channel did the customer use to come to our website, the data will look something like:
visitid visitorid channel servertime
1234 55 Google 2018-05-07 12:44
1255 60 Direct 2018-05-07 12:12
1287 55 Direct 2018-05-07 12:44
1257 60 SEO 2018-05-07 12:12
1265 57 Google 2018-05-07 12:12
1267 57 SEO 2018-05-08 12:12
In this case I would like to see that 2 visitors came first via Google (55, 57) and 50% of those change to Direct and 50% to SEO. There was also one visitor (60) who came Direct and 100% of those went to SEO.
Any ideas?
Thank you!

Hi Patrick Byrne, the problem is like I explained in the question that all of these tutorials assume you are working with two categories or hierarchical structures where in my use case I want to do it based on a timestamp : what channel did the user used on the second visit and how was it different from the first?
