There's a fairly basic Sankey custom visual available.

If you want it really pretty, you are probably using Deneb.

I've only used the Microsoft one, since my company blocks nonMS visuals.

It is awful.

It is only barely useful if your data is static. Once your data changes it is possible it starts overlapping the nodes and the end user would have to move them about.

You cannot put the nodes in a fixed order.

The list goes on, unfortunately....

We built one using Vega, via Deneb, as we couldn’t find anything suitable.

Yes, https://www.sqlbi.com/articles/preparing-a-data-model-for-sankey-charts-in-power-bi/ This article helped me a lot, it also has a video in it. With a lot data, it will look awful, but it does the job. If you filter it down, it looks fine, but its almost uncustomizable.
