In this module, you will learn how to use the Sankey with Labels Power BI Custom Visual.  The Sankey with Labels is a type of diagram that visualizes the flow of data between a source and destination columns. This visual is similar to the visual we showed in [Module 28](https://devinknightsql.com/2016/12/06/power-bi-custom-visuals-class-module-28-sankey/), but with a few key differences.
