Hi,
Problem Statement: I want to be able to visualise the flow of Employees to different Departments based on their Organisational Level.
Data:
| Employee Name | EmployeeID | Organisational Level | Department |
| Alan | I01 | 2 | B |
| Alan | I01 | 3 | B |
| Boaz | I02 | 2 | C |
| Caleb | I03 | 2 | C |
| Caleb | I03 | 3 | D |
| Donald | I04 | 2 | A |
Sample Output:
Expectations:
1. Organisation Levels
2. Departments at each level
3. Count of Employees moving between departments and levels.
Please help!
Thanks!
@Feba You are missing a column such as an Index column or Date column to define which row comes "first" but you could do something like the following:
Level 1 = COUNTROWS( 'Data' )
Level 2 = COUNTROWS( FILTER( 'Data', [Organisational Level] = 2 ) )
Level 3 = COUNTROWS( FILTER( 'Data', [Organisational Level] = 3 ) )
Thanks for your response @GeraldGEmerick !
I am still unclear if there are any visuals that support/can be used for my use case.
List of visuals I have tried using (unsucessfully):
1. Hierarchy chart
2. Sankey Chart
3. Decomposition Tree
4. Matrix
The flow of data between Departments and levels are not supported at the same time.
Hi @Feba ,
Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Fabric Community.
I tested this using the sample data you provided. After reshaping it to show how employees moved between departments across organisational levels, I merged Level 2 and Level 3 records by EmployeeID and created combined labels like โLevel 2 - Bโ and โLevel 3 - D.โ
Using the Sankey chart, I was able to visualise the flow between departments and levels in a single view with ribbon thickness based on the number of employees.
Hope this helps. Please feel free to reach out if this doesnโt meet your requirements.
Iโve attached the PBIX file for your reference.
Thank you.
