New feature: Custom labels for nodes | Steve Bogart Get more from Steve Bogart on Patreon

That feeling when you ship a feature that you've had in mind since 2015...

Your Nodes can now be labeled anything,
or nothing,
or every node in your diagram can have the same label if that's what you want.

Here's a Patreon post about it. More documentation to come!

Thanks to @sixcolors.com for the quick transcript of the earnings call where the $800M tariff impact was discussed: sixcolors.com/post/2025/07...

A highlighted section of the same Sankey diagram showing Apple's quarterly results (shown in the previous two posts). At the top is a header with the Sankeymatic logo and the title "Apple 2025 Q3 Results - Margins". Caption: "In the quarterly earnings call, CFO Kevan Parekh discussed the various margin figures for the quarter. Those margins can also be seen in the diagram; they are isolated here to make them easier to spot." Compared to the first two diagrams, most flows have been removed except for the specific ones representing "Products Cost", "Products Margin", "Services Cost" and "Services Margin". On the input side of the diagram: * The "Products" node has a bracket highlighting the proportion of the total represented by "Products Margin", labeled "Products gross margin was 34.5%". * The "Services" node has a similar bracket highlighting the margin flow, labeled "Services gross margin was 75.6%". On the output side: * A solid bracket highlights the "Gross Margin" node; a dashed bracket highlights the "Cost of Sales" node. The "Gross Margin" bracket is labeled: "Company-wide gross margin was 46.5%".

This version of the Apple diagram shows how the discussion of the company's margin for different revenue streams can be lined up with the visible proportions for each product line.

A Sankey diagram summarizing Apple's financial results for their quarter ending on 6/28/2025, with annotations. At the top is a header with the Sankeymatic logo and the title "Apple 2025 Q3 Results - Annotated". Compared to the first diagram in the thread, the notable changes are: * The 4 different flows from the Products and Services nodes are now explicitly labeled: Products Cost, Products Margin, Services Cost and Services Margin. Notes on the diagram explain that "Dull colors = Cost of Sales" and "Bright colors = Gross Margin (simple profit)". * On the Inputs side of the diagram, the pairs of Product flows and Services flows are joined together. On the Outputs side, the Cost flows from both categories are instead combined to add up to the total Cost of Sales. Similarly the two Margin flows are combined to add up to the total Gross Margin. * The final "Net Income" flow at the bottom right has a callout label stating: "The Bottom Line ..is down here, at the bottom".

There's a lot going on in a diagram like this, and it may not be obvious at first glance.

That's why I'm also attaching two annotated versions.

This one specifically highlights & labels the differently-shaded Cost vs Margin sections of the Apple diagram.

A Sankey diagram depicting Apple's financial results for the quarter ending on 6/28/2025. At the top is a header with the Sankeymatic logo & the title "Apple 2025 Q3 Results - Quarter ending June 28, 2025" Apple's total quarterly Revenue was $94 billion. On the input side, that total revenue came from Products ($66.6 billion) and Services ($27.4 billion). On the output side, Revenue is broken up to show Cost of Sales was $50.3 billion vs Gross Margin of $43.7 billion. Within the Cost of Sales flows, a red line representing $800 million in tariff expenses for Products is shown at the top. More expenses are subtracted until the bottom line is reached: Apple's Net Income for the quarter was $23.4 billion. A listing of every labeled flow in the diagram: Revenue: * "iPhone", $44,582 million (M hereafter); "Wearables, Home, Accessories", $7,404M; "Mac", $8,046M; "iPad", $6,581M. Together those add up to "Products", $66,613M. * "Services" revenue was $27,423M. * Products and Services add up to "Apple Net Sales, Quarter ended 2025-06-28", $94,036M. Expenses: * From Net Sales, $50,318M is subtracted as "Cost of Sales", leaving $43,718M of "Gross Margin". * Operating expenses are subtracted: "Research & Development", $8,866M; "Selling, General, Administrative", $6,650M. This leaves $28,202M of "Operating Income". * "Other Expense" of $171M is subtracted, leaving "Income before Taxes" of $28,031M. * Finally "Taxes" of $4,597M are subtracted, leaving "Net Income" of $23,434M.

Their CFO noted costs increased $800 million because of tariffs. That's highlighted in red.

A Sankey diagram of the 2025 New York City Democratic Mayoral primary election, which used ranked choice voting. In the first round, the top 3 vote recipients were Zohran Mamdani, Andrew Cuomo, and Brad Lander. By round 3, all candidates were eliminated except Mamdani and Cuomo. In the end, Mamdani won with 56% of the vote to Cuomo's 44%. There were approximately 1,027,000 votes cast in all. The number of Inactive Ballots at the end was 52,919 - about 5% of the total votes cast.

The ranked-choice results are in for the 2025 NYC Mayoral Democratic Primary.

Here's a diagram detailing how the 3 rounds went.

A Sankey diagram of the 2021 New York City Democratic Mayoral primary election, which used ranked choice voting. In the first round, the top 3 vote recipients were Eric Adams, Maya Wiley and Kathryn Garcia. As candidates were eliminated and their votes flowed to other candidates, Kathryn Garcia moved up to 2nd place in the 7th round. After Maya Wiley was eliminated, Eric Adams' total finally exceeded 50% of the remaining active votes. Adams' margin of victory over Garcia was 7,197 votes. The number of Inactive Ballots at the end (with none of the remaining candidates ranked) was 140,202, far exceeding the margin of victory.

In anticipation of this year’s NYC Mayoral primaries (happening now), I've put together a diagram of the *previous* Democratic primary, from 2021.

When the 2025 results are finalized, I'll add a new diagram.

It’s fun to occasionally visit Google Scholar and look for published papers mentioning Sankeymatic.

(According to their count, there are over 1300. 👀)

Here’s a very recent one on pulsars, with diagrams describing which ones are measurable.

This link will load the most recent Microsoft diagram:

A Sankey diagram summarizing Microsoft's financial results for the quarter ending on 9/30/2024. The main node shows Microsoft's total quarterly Revenue, which was just over $65.5 billion. On the input side, that total is divided into Products and 'Service and other'. The Service revenue ($50.3 billion) was slightly over 3x the Product revenue ($15.2 billion). On the output side, the total Revenue is broken up to show what portion is 'Cost of Revenue' ($20.1 billion) vs Margin ($45.4 billion). More expenses are then subtracted until the bottom line is reached at the diagram's end: Microsoft's Net Income for the quarter was $24.6 billion.

A Sankey diagram summarizing Microsoft's financial results for the quarter ending on 9/30/2023. The main node shows Microsoft's total quarterly Revenue, which was just over $56.5 billion. On the input side, that total is divided into Products and 'Service and other'. The Service revenue ($41 billion) was greater than the Product revenue ($15.5 billion). On the output side, the total Revenue is broken up to show what portion is 'Cost of Revenue' ($16.3 billion) vs Margin ($40.2 billion). More expenses are then subtracted until the bottom line is reached at the diagram's end: Microsoft's Net Income for the quarter was $22.2 billion.

New on the site: Quarterly graphs for Microsoft (MSFT).

Here is Microsoft's most recent quarter vs. the same quarter a year before. Besides the $10M increase in Service revenue, the pictures are quite consistent.
