Text alignment in Marimekko Chart - Is it a bug?

gyueksel — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 16:26:21 GMT

Hello all,

I can not align the Text (percent values) on the axis to the corresponding bars on Marimekko Chart (See Picture). I could not find any settings to fix it.

Is this a bug or has anyone a solution for the alignment of the texts on the axis to the bars.

Thanks and regards,

Gökhan

Hi Gökhan,

Do you use a Mekko Chart like the icon below?

In your case, why not use the bar chart ?

It will easier to configure the % values on axis.

Hi François,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes this is the Mekko diagramm i have just changed the design settings and put two measures. I would like to have the bars with dynamic width and height. The precent value sets the width of the bars where the integer value sets the height. That is why i need to use Mekko Chart.

You can take a look at the Qlikview App on which I try to get Mekko Chart working. (See Attachment)

Regards,

Gökhan

Gökhan,

Thanks for your sample app.

I think that it's not a bug but a WAD... It's worked as design unfortunately...

I haven't enough power to resolve this issue : go Legend ! 😉

Hi François,

No unfortunately i haven't found a solution yet. It would be great if i could get any support form the community. I hope I am not the only one who tries to get Mekko chart working with Text on the axis...

I *highly* doubt this is WAD and not a bug. It's clearly visible that the "text on axis" values are just spaced evenly, like they would be in a normal bar chart, and do not take the variable bar widths into account at all.

If you have QV support available, then I'd file a bug report and see what the answer will be.

In the meantime, all I can suggest is making an overlay (see attachment). I hate overlay based solutions, but sometimes it's the only thing you can come up with.
