How do I create a chart from a results set in Ask Your Data?

Intelligent Insights is a legacy add-on product. Its advanced analytics are now available in Canvas Plus and Canvas Next and its AI-powered Insights (IgniteAI Ask Your Data) are now available in Canvas Next.

In Ask Your Data, you can easily convert your data tables into visual charts using the Chart Builder. Select from chart types like Bar, Pie, Line, Scatter, or Single Metric, then choose the relevant data types to generate visualizations that highlight trends and relationships. You can also zoom into specific areas of your chart for a closer look at your data insights.

Ask Your Data includes a redesigned charting experience with support for several visualization types and natural-language chart generation.

Users can describe the chart they want in plain language, and Ask Your Data automatically selects the most appropriate chart type, maps the data fields, and renders the visualization.

Users can further customize a chart by adjusting chart type, axes, series, labels, sorting, and other presentation options, and preferences are saved across sessions.

Note: Sub-account administrators can use Ask Your Data (AYD) directly within their own sub-accounts, where AYD is scoped to display only the data relevant to that specific sub-account.
