Which product groups carry the sales, level by level

Version 2.1.6 · released 2026-11-03

See how a total splits into categories and sub-categories, and which branches carry the weight.

What it does

Tm Visualization Suite: Hierarchy Explorer shows how a total splits into categories and sub-categories on one Qlik sheet object. Pick the shape that fits the question: rings, stacked columns or rows, nested circles, or a branching tree. Size and colour show where the weight sits and which branch it belongs to.

Click a branch to select the items behind it, and the rest of the sheet follows. The charts read your data and never change it. Branches with very many small items are grouped into a "more" mark, with a note saying how many.

Analysts and BI leads who explain a total through its categories and sub-categories.

Good for

  • Which product groups make up most of our sales?
  • Where does one category split into many small items?
  • How do departments, groups and items nest?

Key features

  1. Sunburst chart with product groups in the inner ring and sub-categories and items in the outer rings.

    Read a total as rings

    A sunburst puts the top level in the centre and each deeper level in the next ring, sized by value.

  2. Icicle chart with five levels from product group to item, one column per level.

    Compare levels side by side

    An icicle lines the levels up as columns, so you can compare branch sizes across each level.

  3. Circle packing chart, large circles for product groups with smaller circles for items inside each.

    Spot the heavy groups in nested circles

    Circle packing nests items inside their group, so the big groups and their parts show at one glance.

  4. Left-to-right tree with product groups, sub-categories and items, labelled on every branch.

    Follow each path as a tree

    A tree draws every branch with its label, so you can read a path from the top down to a single item.
