Bar Mekko chart templates for profit pool and profitability analysis
A Bar Mekko chart is a variable-width bar chart where width and height track two independent metrics, for example width for revenue and height for margin, so a reader sees both scale and performance in one view. Unlike a standard Mekko chart, width isn't derived from the stacked segments; it's a value you set directly. This makes it the right chart for profit pools, product-line profitability, and growth-versus-size comparisons. Pick a template, paste your data, and drop the finished chart into your deck.
What is a Bar Mekko chart?
A Bar Mekko chart is a variable-width bar chart where each bar's width represents one metric (often revenue or market size) and its height, or stacked height, represents a separate metric (often margin or growth rate). Because width and height are independent, it can show scale and performance together in one chart.
How is a Bar Mekko chart different from a regular Mekko chart?
In a regular Mekko (Marimekko) chart, a column's width is the sum of its own stacked segments, so width and height come from the same data. In a Bar Mekko chart, width is a separate value entirely, unrelated to the segments, which is what lets it show two genuinely different metrics side by side, like profit pool analysis where width is revenue and height is margin.
What is a Bar Mekko chart used for?
Bar Mekko charts are common in profit pool analysis, product or customer profitability breakdowns, and growth-versus-segment-size comparisons, any case where you need to compare a scale metric and a performance metric across categories at the same time.
