Answers can present data as interactive charts or formatted tables, depending on what makes the most sense for your question. You can also explicitly ask for a specific format.

Charts

When you ask for a visualization — or when a chart would be the clearest way to show your data — Answers creates an interactive chart directly in the chat.

Available chart types

Requesting a chart

You can ask for a chart in plain language:
  • “Show me a bar chart of billable hours by department.”
  • “Chart our monthly revenue trend for the past year.”
  • “Create a pie chart showing the split between billable and non-billable time.”
If you don’t specify a chart type, Answers will choose the one that best fits your data.

Downloading a chart

You can download any chart as a PNG image to use in presentations, reports, or emails.

Tables

For detailed data with multiple columns, Answers formats results as a table. Tables are useful when you need to see exact numbers rather than a visual overview.

Requesting a table

  • “List our top 10 clients by revenue.”
  • “Show me a table of staff utilization rates by department.”
  • “What are the outstanding billing amounts for each client?”

Working with table data

  • Download as CSV — You can download any table as a CSV file, ready to open in Excel or any spreadsheet application.
  • Copy and paste — Use the Copy button on any response to copy a table. You can paste it directly into Excel, Google Sheets, or any other spreadsheet tool and it will retain its row and column structure.

Tips

  • If you want both a chart and a table for the same data, just ask — for example, “Show me a chart and table of revenue by department.”
  • You can ask follow-up questions to refine a visualization, like “Break that down by quarter” or “Only show the top 5.”
  • If Answers shows a table but you’d prefer a chart (or vice versa), just say so.
