Treemap

Sales by Territory color coded by Product Line

A Treemap displays hierarchical information in a series of clustered rectangles, which together represent a whole. The size of each box represents a quantity. Treemaps also can use color to represent any number of values, but it is often used to categorize the various boxes within the treemap.

Drag an attribute into the "Color By" shelf to define how the plotted values should be color coded.
Drag two or more measures you want to compare into the measure shelf.

You can also take an existing highlight window and drag it around to highlight other areas of the chart.
