A Mekko chart is a mix of a 100% stacked column chart and a 100% stacked bar chart combined into one view. Similar to a treemap, the dimensional values are represented by length and width of each rectangle. The width of a column is proportional to the total value of the column.

# Overview

Since it captures two dimensions in one chart, you can quickly spot the large segments as well the ones that are underrepresented in one quick glance. You can either use the same measure for the column height and width or use different ones depending on your need.

Similar to a treemap, the dimensional values are represented by the length and width of each rectangle. The width of a column is proportional to the total value of the column.

Segmentation and Pattern analysis are a big part of business analysis and with traditional charts you need to piece multiple individual items together in your mental map to draw conclusions. For dealing with such complex business analysis involving multiple variables/dimensions, the iconic marimekko design is very appealing and the Mekko chart makes it super easy to achieve this in Power BI.

The Mekko chart visual also allows you to control the legends, data colors, and data labels for a truly customized presentation.
