QlikView Block chart — The block chart shows the relation between expression values as blocks of varying area. It uses a single expression and up to three dimensions, with each dimension block further divided into sub-blocks. The total area of the block chart always equals 100% of the possible expression values.

QlikView Mekko charts — Mekko charts present data using variable width bars. They can display up to three levels of data in a two dimensional chart. Mekko charts are useful in such areas as market analysis.

Look through these articles:

mekko: Marimekko Charts - Peltier Tech Blog
