Treemap Data Labels

Hello,
I created a treemap but want to be able to only show the dimension as a data label and not the dimension and measure. Is this possible?

Hello @rima.issa,

Welcome to the Quicksight Community and thank you for posting your question.

At the moment, Quick Sight doesn’t offer a native way to only display the dimension in treemap labels while keeping the size relevant.

Reason -
Both the dimension and the measure are displayed as part of the data label because the visual structure of a treemap is based on both.

The reason you cannot show only the dimension is that treemaps are designed to convey hierarchical data along with its quantitative size. The size of each block in the treemap is directly tied to the measure, so removing the measure would make it unclear why certain blocks are larger or smaller. Therefore, Quick Sight automatically includes both the dimension and the measure in the label to maintain this context for the viewer.

  • Why it’s showing the measure by default: If you haven’t assigned a custom measure, Quick Sight uses a default measure like a count of the dimension to determine the size of the blocks.

I hope that helps. For more information, please refer to this documentation → Using tree maps - Amazon QuickSight

Thank you,
Shravya
