Treemap charts are an alternative method for visualizing the hierarchical structure of
tree diagrams while also displaying quantities for each category. Treemap charts are useful for
identifying patterns in data. Tree branches are represented by rectangles, with each sub branch
represented by smaller rectangles.

Summary
Select a statistical summary function for the graphic element. The result of
the statistic determines the position of the graphic elements.
Two types of
statistical summary functions are available. The distinction is important because it determines
whether you need to specify a Value variable.
Functions that do not require a value variable
All count and percentage statistics are in this category. These statistics are available when
there is no defined Value variable.
Functions that do require a value variable
For example, the Mean function requires a variable on which the mean is
calculated. These statistics are available when there is a defined Value
variable.
Value
This field displays when a Summary function that
requires a value variable is selected. Select a variable to serve as the basis for the summary
