Visualize hierarchical data using irregular polygons instead of rectangles.
The shaped treemap is a versatile visual that lets you represent hierarchical data in a visually engaging way. You can choose from six shapes—Circle, Square, Triangle, Pentagon, Hexagon, or Diamond—and use up to two dimensions to structure your data. The first dimension controls the colors, while the second determines the polygon shapes, or the first if only one dimension is used.
Conditional formatting allows you to synchronize colors across multiple visuals with a DAX measure, or assign custom colors to individual dimension values. When two dimensions are used, a circular legend can be added to display the values of the first dimension, with metrics shown as absolute numbers or percentages.
Data labels are automatically centered within each polygon and scale linearly according to their metric values, with minimum and maximum font sizes. Overlap detection ensures labels do not collide, and you can control the total number of labels, keeping very small shapes uncluttered. This combination of features makes the shaped treemap both an eye-catching and highly functional tool for exploring hierarchical data.
