Wanted to drop a note that I have been using Sankey for the exact same use case for a couple years now. I use Google Charts and about 40 lines of JS code, then I export the SVG (or paste a screenshot) into my presentation slides. It is a bit tedious and error prone process but works great. There are a few bugs on Google Charts Sankey implementation as well that makes so that the order you enter items impact the visualization layout.

In my case, we do project level budget and it has to flow upstream so I need to ensure that the numbers add up. From my preliminary test, it does not look like I can do that with this tool (yet?). I want to enter the leaf / most granular level numbers and then do the group hierarchy and not have to enter every number from top to bottom.
