Table Chart
In this article, we will explain how to create and customize a Annotation chart. So let's get started!
Creating a Table Chart
1. What is a Table Chart and When to Use It?
A Table Chart presents data in a structured, grid-based format of rows and columns. It’s ideal for showing both individual records and aggregated metrics across categories with clarity and precision.
When to Use a Table Chart
Use a Table Chart when:
You need to present exact numerical values.
You’re comparing multiple metrics across time or categories.
You require a clear, report-friendly layout.
You want to filter, sort, or pivot the data interactively.
Example Use Case
“Show yearly Number of Orders, Total Sales, Total Profit, and Profit Margin in a Table.”
This allows users to analyze yearly performance data in a clean, organized manner.
2. Steps to Create a Table Chart
1. Enter Your Prompt
Begin by entering a descriptive query in natural language.
Example:
2. Choose a Data Source and Click "Next"
After entering your prompt, click Next to proceed to data source selection.
You can:
Upload a new dataset (CSV or Excel)
Select an existing dataset from the dropdown list (e.g.,
global_superstore_orders)
3. Data Selection and Configuration
Once the dataset is selected, configure how the table will display your data.
You can map columns to:
Dimensions (e.g.,
OrderYear) — groupingsMetrics (e.g.,
TotalSales,ProfitMargin) — calculationsOrder By — sort logic
Filters — apply constraints
Pivot — transform rows into columns (optional)
Use the drag-and-drop configuration area to set these fields. The chart updates in real time based on your selections.
4. Styling the Table Chart (Optional)
