Forbes 50 Innovative Fintechs as a Marimekko Chart with Data Row
How I Made This Marimekko Chart with Data Row
The Forbes list of 50 innovative fintechs included company name, category, market capitalization and location. I copied and paste the data into Excel, used Excel functions to convert the market cap data from text to numeric, and created a PivotTable. The image below shows the data and PivotTable:
Here's how I made the Marimekko chart with data row:
- select the data from the PivotTable (excluding totals) and create a Marimekko chart in PowerPoint from the Mekko Graphics ribbon in Excel
- add a row to the Mekko Graphics Data Editor with a formula to compute the number of companies in each category
- indicate that this row should be displayed as a data row by using the right-click menu in the data editor
- in Format Chart, set the sorting for series to biggest on bottom and to bars for widest on left
- set the number formats for bar totals, grand total, and segment values
- display the segment labels and values in each segment
- choose By Series After Sort as the coloring mode
- in Format Axes, hide the axis lines and tick marks and add a y axis title
- edit the data for Gemini so that it is not a zero value and hence displays in the charts (e.g., change value to .1)
- annotate the labels in the smaller segments
- adjust the internal margins
- align the annotated labels
- uncheck autowrap to display the data row label on one line
