Mekko Chart Creator

A charting add-in product for Microsoft Excel

Do you need to:

• Present your data along three dimensions on a two dimensional chart?  (for example, sales by competitor by market share)
• Present critical information in an easy to understand layout?

The Mekko Chart Creator can do this and more!

The Mekko Chart Creator makes it easy to create charts that show data in three dimensions.  The following illustrates an area Mekko chart and a bar Mekko chart:

Such a graph allows one to see both differences in market share by product type and region, and the over all size of the different markets.  One can insert values, labels, or both on individual data points or on the top or right side, in addition to the X and Y labels on the left and bottom. 

The following dialog illustrates the labeling options available for area Mekko charts:

One can easily manually change any data point's label, and remove labels.  The option to insert a label only if the % down and % across meet minimum values allows ease of automatic labeling of major data points.
