The Treemap Add-in for Excel adds treemap data visualization functionality to hierarchical structured data in Excel. Treemaps display hierarchical data as a set of nested rectangles where each branch of the tree is allocated a rectangle which is tiled with smaller rectangles representing sub-branches of data. A leaf node's rectangle has an area proportional to a specified dimension on the data and leaf nodes can be colored to show a separate dimension of the data.
The Treemap Add-in for Excel can create treemap visualizations quickly and easily from a menu option in Excel 2003 and earlier and as a new ribbon tab in Excel 2007 and later.
Key features of The Treemap Add-in for Excel include:
