Charts
A query or a spreadsheet range with a picture, re-run on open.
A chart is a figure drawn from the data — a query over your datasets, or a range of a spreadsheet. It re-runs when opened, so what you see is the current data, never a stale export. If a table it reads is waiting for its transformation to run, the chart says so.
Making one
On Data, choose New → Chart. Pick the chart first — bar, line, pie, scatter, waterfall, driver tree, heatmap, Sankey and more, twenty types in all — and it shows the shape of data it needs. Then choose where the data comes from:
- SQL query over your datasets: the chart offers a starting query in the right shape (Use this as a starting point), with your datasets listed alongside.
- Spreadsheet range: a sheet and a range of a model. The chart follows the spreadsheet's current version.
Name it, say what question it answers, and Save chart. To see the rows behind the picture, click Edit, or export them as CSV from the ⋯ menu. ⋯ → Refresh re-runs it on demand.
Where charts go
Charts are what views are composed from and what decks and docs read their figures from. Click Details on a chart to see what it reads and what reads it.
Faster with an agent — "chart the modeled market by region and year, and show it to me." Your agent writes the query or picks the range, creates the chart, and shows it in the chat; it is in the project too.
