we’re in a new column), then return the sum of the prior value of this measure (from the prior address) plus the current Applicants per Column. If there’s a change in the Department or Gender from the prior address (i.e. If it’s the first address (aka row in the partition) then return the Applicants per Column.ī. This formula of the # of Applicants field is a bit complicated. The calculation has a compute-using on specific dimensions: Department, Gender, and Admission Status (in that order):ĮLSEIF MIN() != LOOKUP(MIN(),-1) THEN I think the following calculation is the easiest to use since it gets the desired results in a single calculation. However, for Tableau’s running-total quick table calculation, there’s no compute-using setting that will reliably work no matter the data structure (particularly when it comes to sparse data). Second, how do we get the same value for each mark (created by the Admission Status dimension) in each column (created by the Department and Gender dimensions)? Now, it would seem that all we need to do is generate a running total of the Applicants per column measure. First, are we going to have this measure determine the left or right edge of the column? In this case, we’ll use the right edge because it’s easier to calculate. To do so, we need to answer two questions. Now we need to create the x-axis position of each column. This way, it will sum up all the Applicants for each combination of Department and Gender, and the result will be the column width that we need. The formula for the Applicants per Column measure is. In this case, we’ll use make a calculated field using a Level of Detail (LOD) Expression because it saves us from the complications of table calculations. Now we’ll generate the size (width) of each Marimekko column. Drag the initial measure of interest (Applicants in this case) from the Measures window to the Measure Values card.Ħ. Tableau will create a Measure Names/Values crosstab and show the Measure Values card.ĥ. Double-click on Measure Values in the Measures window. In this case, we’re using the Applicants measure with a compute-using option on Admission Status.Ĥ. Create the y-axis measure using the percent-of-total quick table calculation. Add the initial measure of interest, in this case SUM(Applicants) to the Text shelf.ģ. Then add to its right the discrete pill that will be used for the Color shelf:Ģ. Place the x-axis dimension(s) that will drive the Level of Detail as discrete pills on Rows. Start with a crosstab to help validate values. Here are the steps to build the above Marimekko chart:ġ. This is a tall data set with three dimensions-Department, Gender, and Admission Status-so we’ll need to use some more advanced calculations to deal with the fine grain of the data. The data for the six departments is taken from the R UCB Admissions sample data set: With that in mind, let’s start out looking at the data. We need to think about what values each mark needs to be plotted in the right place with the right size and color. Marimekko charts in Tableau do require some effort.

using a percent-of-total quick table calculation that computes along whatever dimensions(s) you are using to create the vertical segments. A continuous (green) pill on Rows (the y-axis) that is set up as a 100% stacked bar, e.g.The other dimensions of interest (the independent variables) are on the Level of Detail shelf.

In general, this is going to be the dependent variable of your data such as the Admission Status in this case. The key elements of Marimekko charts in Tableau are: We still need to build out some calculations to properly plot the marks. Tableau 10’s new mark-sizing feature makes construction of Marimekko charts significantly easier.

Now that you know what a Marimekko chart is and when it’s most useful, it’s now time to learn how to build it in Tableau. Tableau 10 gives you precise control over the width of your bars, enabling this new chart type.
