A Marimekko Chart is a special type of diagram that uses columns and bars to represent the percentage distribution of data in different categories. The columns have widths proportional to the percentages of each category, while the bars have heights proportional to the total percentage of the entire data set. Also known as a variable width bar chart, is useful for comparing both high-level data and low-level data in the same chart. However, since we have size variables for both the width of the bars AND the height of the bars, comparing different segments of the chart is more challenging than it needs to be. In this example, we will show you how to make an alternative to a traditional Marimekko Chart, and how to compare both category sales and region sales within each.
