Introducing the MattyMekko Excel Chart
The MattyMekko chart is a custom chart based on Excel’s stacked column (or 100% stacked column) chart.
This one-of-a-kind chart is not a built-in Excel chart template…but can be created within Excel with the MattyMekko Excel Add-in from SizzleTools.
Combine Multiple Charts…
…into One Chart

“Real Life” Scenario
You start your day as a Financial Analyst and receive an urgent email from Sales that they need a chart created for an upcoming presentation with the CEO that starts in an hour, sound familiar? They attach an Excel worksheet with a table of data (not as clean as shown) that contains production information by product and region for several years.
In an attempt to find the best chart view, you begin by selecting the data and choosing a standard Stacked Column Chart within Excel, then select Switch Row/Column under Chart Design to see which chart you prefer…the result is a couple not so insightful eye charts.
Fortunately, you remember you recently purchased the MattyMekko Chart Add-In from SizzleTools and are able to build a more aesthetically pleasing chart. You have some extra time on your hands so you add custom data labels.
You email the chart back to Sales and receive an emphatic “Thank you!” reply. You are proud of the useful chart you were able to create in such a short amount of time.
The presentation is well received and the CEO notices and praises your chart. However, in typical fashion, Sales takes full responsibility for the chart.
