Mekko charts present data using variable width bars. They can display up to three levels of data in a two-dimensional chart. Mekko charts are useful in such areas as market analysis.
Mekko Chart: Object Menu
The object menu can
be opened as a context menu by right-clicking on a sheet object, or by clicking the 
icon in the object caption (if shown).
The commands in the menu may vary depending on whether WebView is used from inside QlikView or opening the document in a web browser. The menu contains the following commands:
| Command | Details |
|---|---|
| Properties... |
Opens the Properties dialog for the active sheet object. |
| Notes |
Allows creating and sharing notes about the current object. |
| Detach | The chart title is appended with the text “(Detached)” and the chart is no longer updated with selections made in the document (though selections may actually still be made from the chart). The command is available only if the chart is attached. By making a copy of a chart and detaching it, you may make direct comparisons between the copy and the original. |
| Attach | Attaches a detached chart. The chart becomes dynamically linked to the data. The command is available only if the chart is detached. |
| Set Reference | This option sets a chart reference, such as a fixed plot of the chart with the current selections. When further selections are made in the document the reference plot remains, dimmed in the background. Chart axes will be adjusted to always include the maximum of the background data set and the current data set. The current data set is always plotted on top of the reference plot. Some portions of the reference plot may be obscured by the current data set plot. The display of reference chart plots is only possible in some chart types, such as bar charts, line charts, combo charts, radar charts, scatter charts, grid charts and gauge charts with needles. It is not possible to set a reference for a chart that contains a drill-down or a cyclic group. The reference will be lost when closing the document or when reloading data. The maximum number of objects that can be included when using the Set Reference option is 500. |
| Clear Reference | This command is replaced with the Set Reference command when a reference is set. By choosing it the previously set reference will be cleared and the chart will revert to normal plot mode. |

Select this option if you want to show the First, Largest or Smallest x number of values. If this option is set to 5, there will be five values displayed. If the dimension has Show Others enabled, the Others segment will take up one of the five display slots.
- The First option will return the rows based on the options selected on the Sort tab of the property dialog. If the chart is a Straight Table, the rows will be returned based on the primary sort at the time. In other words, a user can change the values display by double-clicking on any column header and making that column the primary sort.
- The Largest option returns the rows in descending order based on the first expression in the chart. When used in a Straight Table, the dimension values shown will remain consistent while interactively sorting the expressions. The dimensions values will (may) change when the order of the expressions is changed.
- The Smallest option returns the rows in ascending order based on the first expression in the chart. When used in a Straight Table, the dimension values shown will remain consistent while interactively sorting the expressions. The dimensions values will (may) change when the order of the expressions is changed.
- Enter the number of values to display.
to open the Edit Expression dialog. Select Include Boundary Values to include the dimension value that contains the comparison value. - Show only values that are: Select this option to display all dimensions values that meet the specified condition for this option.
