How to Build Cartesian Charts
A simple column or bar chart requires at least 1 hierarchy, either in the Categories drop zone or the Color zone, and 1 measure. Stacked bar and column charts require either 2 hierarchies - 1 in Categories, and 1 in Color - and 1 measure, or a single hierarchy in Categories and multiple measure in Values and Color (this results in a stacked measure chart).
A Marimekko chart requires 2 hierarchies (1 in Categories and 1 in Color) and 2 measures (1 in Values and one in Size).
