Our 25.3 release includes a brand-new chart type: Mekko (Mosaic). This type of chart allows you the ability to dynamically view your data.
What is a Mekko chart?
A Mekko chart combines the styles of stacked bar charts along with variable-width column charts.
There are a wide range of use cases for these types of charts, including market share analyses, product portfolio comparisons, strategic planning campaigns, and budget allocations.
Mekko Chart: 5 Dimensional, Configurable, Market Model
The Quantrix Method
Quantrix brings a new perspective to Mekko visualization. When users create a Mekko chart in Modeler, they are creating “not only one chart, but all possible charts at the same time” says Gilbert Hangartner (Quantrix Partner). Rather than sorting out all your data and then plotting only the final product, Quantrix allows you to create the Mekko first. In turn, users can now “look at the data, understand it, and select the final data” they want to use. Hangartner continues: “assume you have a 5-dimensional datacube which you pipe into the Mekko chart. You can then create all possible combinations of 2-dimensional Mekko-charts by just flipping around the categories.”
Faster Model Building
Model creation in other platforms can be time-consuming and error-prone. With Quantrix, users can structure their modeling challenge in a manner that best fits their organization. “Our experience is that for complex models, Quantrix is about 10 times faster than Excel to build, debug and use models” says Hangartner.
