CSV & Excel Data Plotter & Chart Generator
What is a Csv Excel Chart Generator?
Sometimes you just need to see your numbers as a chart: sales by month, survey answers, server response times or budget categories. This tool turns pasted CSV or spreadsheet data into a chart in seconds, without opening Excel or uploading anything to a cloud service.
How to use it
- Paste CSV data, or copy a range from Excel or Google Sheets and paste it.
- Make sure the first row contains column headers and the first column contains labels.
- Choose the chart type.
- Review the chart and export or screenshot it.
Example data
Month,Revenue,Costs
Jan,12000,8000
Feb,15000,8500
Mar,14200,9100
Apr,18300,9800As a bar chart this shows revenue and costs side by side for each month; as a line chart it highlights the upward revenue trend.
Choosing the right chart
- Bar chart: comparing values across categories, such as sales per region.
- Line chart: trends over time, such as monthly traffic.
- Pie chart: parts of a whole, with only a few categories, such as market share. Avoid pies with more than 5 or 6 slices; bars are easier to compare.
Data tips
- Numbers should not contain currency symbols or thousands separators that could be read as text.
- Use a consistent decimal separator; some regions export CSV with semicolons and decimal commas.
- Sort categories meaningfully, by value or by time, so patterns are easy to see.
Your data stays in your browser.

Bar charts for comparing categories, line charts for trends over time and pie charts for a few parts of a whole.
Why are my numbers not plotted?
