​
Creating a chart with AI

Open the AI chat (Cmd+\ / Ctrl+\) and select Chart mode, or just describe the chart you want:
  • “Create a bar chart of sales by region”
  • “Show me a line chart of monthly revenue for the last 12 months”
  • “Make a scatter plot of price vs. quantity with a trend line”
  • “Generate a pie chart showing market share by company”
The AI analyzes your data, selects the appropriate chart type, and creates it. You can then customize it further.

​
Chart engine

Sourcetable uses two chart engines under the hood:
  • SourceCharts — native charts built into the spreadsheet for common chart types
  • ECharts and Plotly — advanced charting libraries for specialized visualizations, interactive features, and complex data displays

​
Publishing charts

You can publish charts to share them with others outside your workbook. Published charts provide a shareable link that displays the chart with live data.
