What you can do here
Straight from a spreadsheet
Copy a range in Excel or Google Sheets and paste it — tab-separated cells work just like CSV.
Totals without formulas
Sales by region, orders per month, answers per option: repeated rows are summed, averaged or counted for you.
Indian number formats
Lakh-style grouping (1,23,456), rupee signs and percentages are read as numbers, not text.
Ready for slides
Add a title, pick a colour set and download a sharp PNG or an SVG that scales for print.

Switch chart types, hide series and show only the top categories to find the story quickly.

Which chart should I use?
| To show | Use |
|---|---|
| Change over time (months, years, dates) | Line or area |
| Comparing categories (regions, products) | Column, or bar for long names |
| Parts of a whole (share of sales) | Pie or donut — up to about 8 slices |
| The relationship between two numbers | Scatter |
| Totals and how they’re made up | Stacked column or area |
Tips
Long lists of categories are hard to read: use Top 10 + Other, or a bar chart, which has room for long names. If a column of numbers is treated as text, check for notes or units mixed into the cells.
