Info

The order of hierarchy formed in Treemap is based on the placement of dimensions in the Label Deck. You can rearrange the fields in the Label Deck, to change the order of grouping on the chart.

Visualization moves Coffee and Geography to the Labels Deck and Freight to Color Deck. If you click the Label Deck, Show Data Labels are selected by default. Now, in the Color Deck, replace Freight with Geography and apply a filter to both Coffee and Geography dimensions.
