A bar chart expresses amounts in single dimensions (height).

A Mekko chart uses two dimensions for everym measure, e.g. height and width to express relative weight. A mix of bar chart and box chart, really.

Hi kusuma,

Bar chart expressed the value of data in only one dimensions that is height but in Mekko chart, value of the data can be expressed in both dimensions that is height and weight.

Hope this information will be helpful.
