Mekko Graphics Basic Edition contains the same features as the Professional Edition, the charting software used by many leading management consulting firms. With the Basic Edition, you have access to features not available in PowerPoint® with ease-of-use and flexibility to create charts more quickly and efficiently. Mekko Graphics also provides more flexible and powerful formatting options than Excel, allowing you to display your data in a way that best communicates your points. You'll find tools uniquely geared to your business needs, such as annotation lines, comparison lines, average lines, partial series, net lines, CAGR data, data tables, and more. In addition, you will have access to exclusive label formatting options that allow you to customize your chart's look, including our smartplace technology, which allows you to automatically place labels at a size that will fit into your chart, the ability to include both bar and grand totals, and the ability to edit a label directly in your chart without changing your original data. You'll also have the ability to link to data ranges directly in Microsoft ExcelT, and refresh your Mekko charts at the click of a button to your new Excel data.

With Mekko Basic you can:
Create the distinctive charts that parallel those done by graphics professionals
Select the visuals that best highlight your analyses from 15 different chart types
Take advantage of unique charting features including grand totals, annotation lines, average lines, net lines, "other" series, comparison lines, and more!
Use the extensive formatting options - including smartplace, bar and grand totals, and inplace edit - to make your charts and graphs more readable and convey your message more effectively
Build and display Mekko Graphics charts with familiar PowerPoint® presentation software
Update existing presentations easily with new data

If you decide later to upgrade to our Professional version, you will be able to take advantage of the additional 15 charts available. All charts created in Mekko Basic are fully compatible with Mekko Professional.

Mekko Graphics Professional Edition includes the powerful and exclusive Marimekko chart, the business chart of choice for strategic planners and decision-makers throughout the world. Also known as a 'market map' or variable-width bar chart, a Mekko is, simply, a chart that can communicate up to three levels of data (such as Sales by Competitor by Market Segment) in a single, two-dimensional graph. Marimekko charts are used extensively in corporate boardrooms today because of their power to communicate complex data and concepts in a straightforward, graphical way.
