How to chart a Google Sheet

Paste a link. Done.

If your sheet is public (or shared with Anyone with the link), you can chart it directly by pasting the URL. We fetch the published CSV export, ingest it locally, and you're off to the races.

  1. 1Make the sheet readable

    In Google Sheets, click Share in the top-right. Under General access pick Anyone with the link and role Viewer.

    You don't need to publish it to the web — just shared.

  2. 2Copy the URL

    Copy the URL from your browser's address bar. It looks like
    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/…/edit#gid=0.

  3. 3Import

    In Chart SaaS, click New chart then Import from Google Sheets. Paste the URL and hit Import. We read the tab referenced by #gid= (or the first tab if none).

  4. 4Chart and publish

    Same flow as any other upload: chat with the data, theme it, publish when you like it.

Troubleshooting

“Couldn’t fetch the sheet”
The sharing is still restricted. Flip it to ‘Anyone with the link’ and try again.
I only see one tab
The URL's #gid= picks the tab. Click into the tab you want, then copy that URL.
