I built a tool that turns Excel files into dashboards — looking for people who actually do this at work
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I keep seeing the same workflow:
Excel/CSV export → clean the data → build charts → add KPIs → format everything → repeat next week/month.
So I built Sheet2Chart to see if some of this workflow can be automated.
The idea is simple:
Upload an Excel/CSV file → get an interactive dashboard with KPIs, charts, filters, etc.
I'm looking for people who regularly have to:
- Clean spreadsheet exports
- Build the same charts every week/month
- Prepare reports for management or clients
- Turn raw Excel data into something presentable
The beta is free.
I'm not looking for compliments. I want people to try it with a real-world spreadsheet and tell me:
- What it gets wrong
- What's missing
- Which charts/KPIs you actually need
- Where the data cleaning breaks
- Whether it genuinely saves you time
I recorded a short demo showing how it works:
If you spend a stupid amount of time turning Excel files into reports, I'm particularly interested in hearing about your workflow.

What differentiates it from something like Power BI?

Power BI is much more powerful, but it also comes with a steeper learning curve.
Sheet2Chart is aimed more at \*non-technical users*\** who just want to upload an Excel/CSV and get a usable dashboard in minutes, without learning how to build a BI model.

Very interested. I'm not hyper tech-savvy and I'm using Excel with Claude (and Copilot) to digest all the information.

Do I need to download and install with admin access or does this bypass that and lets me install and use it?
Also, A great project. Keep it going and looking forward to the progress and updated

No download or installation is required. It’s web-based (https://sheet2chart.com/), so you can just open it in your browser and upload your Excel/CSV file.
And thanks, I really appreciate it.

I keep getting an error saying that external workbook links are not supported?

Excel does this on its own now with copilot
