Create a dashboard from any spreadsheet
Whether your numbers live in Excel, Google Sheets, or a CSV export, Sheetavo turns that spreadsheet into an interactive dashboard with charts, tables, and AI insights — automatically, without building a Power BI project or writing a line of code. The process takes minutes from upload to a shared link your stakeholders can open in any browser.
Supported spreadsheet types
- Excel workbooks (XLSX) — including multi-sheet files; Sheetavo picks the best data table and can merge summary tabs.
- CSV files — exported from tools like Stripe, HubSpot, Google Ads, Xero, Jira, or your internal systems.
- Google Sheets — connect directly with read-only access; refresh with one click when data changes.
What Sheetavo detects and generates automatically
After upload or connection, Sheetavo scans every column and infers:
- Numeric measures — revenue, spend, count, duration — used for KPI cards and chart axes.
- Date columns — for trend charts showing how metrics change over time.
- Categorical dimensions — region, channel, department, status — for bar charts and filters.
- Currency and percentage formatting — values display with correct symbols and notation automatically.
From those inferences, it builds: a trend line chart (if dates are detected), bar and pie charts for the most meaningful breakdowns, KPI cards for your top 4 measures, and a sortable, filterable data table. On supported plans, AI insights explain what the numbers show in plain language — no analyst required.
Why this is faster than building in a traditional BI tool
Traditional BI tools — Power BI, Tableau, Looker Studio — require data models, connectors, calculated fields, and manual layout work before you see a single chart. Sheetavo works directly with the spreadsheets you already maintain, so you keep your existing workflow and still get dashboards and AI insights. There is no separate BI project to build or maintain.
- No data modelling — your column names are the dimensions and measures.
- No calculated fields — aggregations (sum, average, count) are inferred from field types.
- No layout canvas — charts are placed automatically; you refine rather than build from scratch.
- No viewer licences — share a link anyone can open.
Simple, repeatable process for any spreadsheet
- Upload or connect your spreadsheet in Sheetavo.
- Confirm the columns and data types detected — most work immediately.
- Review the suggested dashboard layout and adjust chart titles or types if needed.
- Enable AI insights for a written summary of what the data shows.
- Save, share the link, and use Present mode in your next meeting.
