Hi,

if I remember right mekko chart present data using variable width bars. So mekko chart can display up to three levels of data in a two dimensional chart.

I studied this but I'm not aan expert of mekko chart.

I hope this can help you.

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. and it has 1 dimension and number of expression.

BarChart:  bar chart is used comparison among the the items and also bar chart having 2 dimensions and number of expressions.

Hi Nikhil,

Bar Chart:

Comparison of similar measurements       Ex.      a) Actual vs. budget- money to money. Quarter to Quarter      b) Time to Time      c) Top N- categorized values (sales reps, customers etc) avoid: comparisons with different units ($ and Qty)

Mekko chart:

Data using variable width bars

a) 3D measurement chart- Amount, Quantity and no. of customers

b) Market analysis.
