Add data to a treemap chart and configure its style-Quick BI(Quick BI)-阿里云帮助中心

A treemap chart displays hierarchical data as a set of nested rectangles. The area of each rectangle is proportional to a specific measure, making it easy to compare parts of a whole. This topic describes how to add data to a treemap chart and configure its style.

Prerequisites

You have created a dashboard. For more information, see Create a dashboard.

Chart overview

Use cases

Treemap charts are ideal for displaying the distribution of dimension values based on the proportion of a measure. They effectively highlight data results, making them useful for visualizing hierarchical or categorical data.

Advantages

Visualization: Visualizes data as rectangles with customizable labels.
Annotations and interactivity: You can add annotations and configure hyperlinks to interact with external systems.

Example

Limitations

A treemap chart consists of Labels (Dim.) and Size (Mea.):
- Labels (Dim.): This field accepts up to two dimensions to define the hierarchy of the rectangles. For example, product category.
- Size (Mea.): This field accepts one measure to determine the size of each rectangle. For example, shipping cost.
When a treemap chart contains more than one dimension field, the chart does not support the drilling feature.

Configure chart fields

On the Data tab of the dashboard edit page, add the required dimension and measure fields:
- From the Dimensions list, find product type, and then double-click or drag it to the Labels (Dim.) area.
- From the Measures list, find order amount, and then double-click or drag it to the Size (Mea.) area.
Click Update. The chart updates automatically.

Configure chart style

For information about general title and card settings, see Configure the chart title area.

On the Style tab, configure the chart style in the Style Settings section.

Parameter	Description
Rectangle	Configure color schemes and group data into an 'Other' category. Color Scheme Group Data as Other When the chart contains only one dimension field, you can set the number of blocks to group, and specify the name and color for the 'Other' block.
Legend	In the Legend section, click the icon to enable the chart legend and configure its style. Note When the chart contains multiple dimension fields, the legend displays only the first dimension field. PC and mobile legend settings are independent. To configure the legend for mobile devices, switch to the mobile view by clicking the PC/Mobile switch button () at the top of the dashboard edit page.
Data label	Set whether to display a data label and configure its format. Content: You can display Percentage and Measure. Note If you choose to display the percentage, you can set the number of decimal places to 0, 1, or 2 in the Decimal Places for Percentage field. When the chart contains multiple dimension fields, you can also choose whether to display the Parent Dimension. Position: Set the position of the data label within the rectangle. Options include Auto, Center, and Top Left. Text: Configure the text format of the data label, including size, weight, and style (italic). Decimal Places for Percentage: This setting is available only when Percentage is selected in the Content section. You can set the number of decimal places to 0, 1, or 2.
Tooltip	Configure the content, background color, and text style of the tooltip. Note When the chart contains multiple dimension fields, the Parent Dimension option becomes available in the Content section. When Percentage is selected in the Content section, you can set the number of decimal places to 0, 1, or 2 in the Decimal Places for Percentage field. The tooltips for PC and mobile can be toggled independently. To configure the mobile tooltip, switch to the mobile view by clicking the PC/Mobile switch button (). Font sizes can be set separately for PC and mobile, but other style settings are shared.
Total	Configure the name and text style for the total value.

Advanced chart configuration

Parameter	Description
Filter Interaction	If you need to analyze data across different charts, you can enable Filter Interaction to link multiple charts. When you interact with one chart, the others update automatically. For more information, see Filter Interaction.
Hyperlink	If you need to analyze data that is spread across multiple dashboards, you can use hyperlinks to link them together for data analysis. Hyperlinks include three types: internal navigation, links to in-page components, and external links. For configuration details, see Hyperlinks.
Annotation	If chart data shows anomalies or requires special attention, you can add an annotation. Annotations can be color highlights, icons, comments, or data points that help you identify issues and take action. For more information, see Annotation.
