# Charts

> Turn any query or table result into a bar, line, area, pie, or scatter chart.

Turn any result into a chart without leaving FlexTable. Charts read the data already in the grid, so there is no re-query.

## Open the chart view

With a table or query result loaded, switch from the **Table** tab to the **Chart** tab.

## Configure the chart

Click the **Settings** gear at the chart's top-right to open the **Series Settings** panel:

* **Chart type** - bar, line, area, pie, or scatter.
* **X axis** - a category or date column.
* **Y axis** - one or more numeric measures, each with an aggregate (sum, avg, count, min, max).

<Tip>**Sensible defaults.** A chart appears immediately (first date/category becomes X, first numeric becomes Y); tweak from there. It visualizes exactly the rows you see, respecting any filters applied.</Tip>
