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