Creating a chart with AI
Describe your chart
Tell the AI what you want to visualize. Be specific about the data, chart type, and any preferences.
Example prompts
- “Create a bar chart comparing Q1 vs Q2 revenue by product line”
- “Show a line chart of daily active users over the past 90 days”
- “Make a scatter plot of price vs. rating with a trend line”
- “Generate a pie chart of expenses by category”
- “Create a heatmap showing correlation between all numeric columns”
- “Build a Sankey diagram showing customer flow from acquisition to conversion”
Supported chart types
Sourcetable supports 30+ chart types including bar, column, line, area, pie, donut, scatter, bubble, histogram, box & whisker, heatmap, tree map, sunburst, Sankey diagram, waterfall, funnel, gauge, candlestick, radar, polar area, choropleth map, and more. The AI automatically selects the most appropriate chart type for your data, but you can always specify a preference.Modifying charts
After the AI creates a chart, you can ask for changes:- “Change the colors to use a blue gradient”
- “Add data labels to each bar”
- “Switch this to a stacked bar chart”
- “Remove the legend and add a title”
- “Make the y-axis start at zero”
Chart engines
The AI uses multiple chart engines depending on the visualization:- SourceCharts — native charts for common types (bar, line, donut, scatter, polar)
- ECharts — advanced interactive charts with animations and tooltips
- Plotly — statistical and scientific charts with interactivity
