1. What is a Treemap?

A Treemap displays hierarchical, nested data as a set of nested rectangles.

• Rectangle Size: Represents a quantitative volume measure (e.g. Sales Volume).
• Rectangle Color: Represents a performance rate measure (e.g. Profit Margin %).

2. What is a Highlight Table (Heatmap)?

A Highlight Table is a numerical matrix where cell background colors are shaded based on values:

• Shows high-performing and underperforming intersections instantly.
• Created by dragging a continuous Measure onto the Color shelf while Mark type is set to Square.
