See how a composition changes over time. Rectangles compare positive values across the categories included in the layout. Name that selected group clearly: it is only a complete market, budget, or world total when you have checked complete, non-overlapping coverage.
Choose a composition question before choosing the chart: how did spending change across the selected departments, or unit sales across disjoint product categories? These are ideas to investigate, not included datasets or findings.
Keep one unit, comparable dates, and stable category definitions. Each observation belongs to one category: counting a department and its parent budget together would double-count spending.
Use finite, positive numeric quantities. Do not use a sum of averages, per-person rates, scores, or percentages with incompatible denominators as a meaningful total. Check missing and duplicate observations in the source; unknown is not zero.
The layout compares categories included at that moment. A few selected countries or companies do not represent the world or the complete market. An omitted category is not automatically included as an “Other” tile.
State the selected scope and period in the chart. Claim a complete breakdown only after checking source coverage and that filters, hidden entities, and Max Items have not excluded relevant categories.
Treemap uses a flat category layout, without nested hierarchy controls. Negative values do not have negative areas, and zero has no meaningful tile area. Areas and transitions are a broad visual comparison, not exact percentages in every frame.
For a clear ordered comparison, choose Bar. For trends, rates, or signed values over time, consider Line and verify the scale.
Prepare one category, period, and numeric value per observation. Review coverage, units, duplicate rows, and dates before choosing New chart → Upload a file. Sign in if asked; the import is your choice.
Prepare and import your source table →Use the existing guide to write your own request. For changing composition, choose Metric over time and specify the additive metric, unit, disjoint categories, and period. Ranking snapshot is a static comparison.
Generation and applying the proposal remain voluntary and may use existing AI credits. Check the full table and original sources; a request does not guarantee accurate data or select Treemap. This page does not prefill or submit a request.

Best for
Use areas for a broad comparison of additive quantities. Read the values for precision; gaps and animated transitions are not exact percentage labels.
Explain which categories and dates you included. A filtered or limited selection does not become the full total.
Rectangles resize and reposition between observations. Interpolated frames are animation, not extra measured data.
Workflow
Use disjoint categories, comparable dates, and additive quantities in the same unit. Import intentionally, or follow the existing request guide and verify its proposal.
Set Chart → Chart Type → Treemap, then map the time, entity, and numeric metric columns in Fields. Label the unit, selected scope, period, and source; this is a flat category layout.
Check small tiles and transitions at phone size. Export → Export Chart offers MP4 or GIF; GIF uses reduced dimensions. Open the actual downloaded file before sharing.
Questions
ChartGlow keeps the workflow simple while leaving the visual and data controls in your hands.
Only if your source covers that complete population without overlap and every relevant category remains included. Otherwise describe a comparison within the selected categories. Filters, hidden entities, and Max Items can change the set used by the layout; no omitted remainder is added automatically.
Do not sum per-person rates, averages, scores, or percentages with different denominators to imply a whole. Prefer finite, positive additive quantities in one unit. Negative values do not receive negative tile areas, zero has no meaningful area, and an unknown value is not zero. Use Bar or Line when signed values or non-additive comparisons are central.
The native Treemap maps one Entity Column and one Value / Metric Column. It lays out a flat set of categories; there is no parent-child hierarchy or drill-down control to configure.
Names or values may not fit in small tiles. Check the actual preview and exported file at the intended size rather than assuming every label stays readable. If grouping categories, use a verified, disjoint remainder and explain it; do not silently remove categories and keep a complete-total claim.
Yes. Export Chart offers both formats, with format-specific frame rates and dimensions. GIF dimensions are reduced from the selected quality; the HD quality label is not a promise of an HD-sized GIF. Browser support and asset loading affect export. Check the received file; free-account exports keep the watermark.
