Treemap Chart Maker

A Treemap chart is a simple tool for visualizing layered data in the form of rectangles. This tree diagram maker shows how data is spread across multiple segments and subsegments in Excel.

Each item is represented by a rectangular shape, while each sub-branch is displayed by a smaller one. So larger rectangles with different colors show the top categories in the data set.

Treemap Chart Maker Features

Treemap generator allows you to display your hierarchical data with a clear visualization. It has two main input options: 1) Basic, 2) Advanced. Each of these generates two visual outputs, which are “treemap” and “hierarchy tree”.

Both sections will let you input up to 500 different items. Also, you can easily navigate between these sections just by clicking the related button.

1) Basic Treemap Input

This basic option is suitable when your data does not contain many layers of sub-categories. It consists of a list of items, as well as a chart preview. This section allows only for 2 layers of input categories.

2) Advanced Treemap Input

This option gives you the opportunity to create a treemap with multiple levels. It has additional 4 columns, where you can have your data split into many levels of sub-categories.

This section has 5 sub-category options, but you can ignore some of them while creating your treemap. So you don’t need to remove data if you just want to see the output without a specific column. Just ignore it from the dropdown menu on the top menu.

Furthermore, there are Hide or Show options for the total values, where you can select whether to show the values or just hide them.

Visual Outputs

You will have a chart sheet and hierarchy tree output for each of the basic and advanced treemap options.

• Chart Sheet

This section will display your treemap chart. You can customize the treemap diagram with different colors or styles. After selecting the chart, just go to the chart design tab to make any change you want. Besides changing the visual design, you can also change the title, or resize the chart.

• Hierarchy Tree

This section displays your data in tree form. This tree is the link between the input data and the treemap chart. You can see here all your categories and sub-categories sorted and grouped way.
