  • Patent number: 11093703
    Abstract: A method for generating a chart suggestion list using data present in a data table includes parsing cells of the data table to identify one or more columns and one or more data types of the cells, performing a statistical analysis of the one or more columns to obtain one or more statistics about the one or more columns, and creating one or more suggested charts based on the one or more statistics about the one or more columns and the one or more data types of the cells. Each of the one or more suggested charts represents at least a subset of the data in the data table. The method also includes generating a chart suggestion list including at least one of the one or more suggested charts.
