How does ChartGen.ai compare to Excel charts?

Is my data secure when using ChartGen.ai?

Yes, data security is a top priority. Your uploaded files are processed in real-time and are not permanently stored on servers. All data transmission is encrypted using HTTPS, and ChartGen.ai is SOC 2 compliant for enterprise use. Your data is never shared with third parties.

What is the best chart type for comparing data?

Bar charts are the best chart type for comparing values across categories. Use horizontal bar charts when category names are long, and vertical bar charts for time-based comparisons. ChartGen.ai's AI can automatically recommend the best chart type based on your data structure.

What chart should I use to show trends over time?

Line charts are ideal for showing trends over time and continuous data changes. Use area charts if you want to emphasize volume or cumulative totals. ChartGen.ai can create both types and will recommend the best option based on your data.

When should I use a pie chart?

Use pie charts to show part-to-whole relationships when you have 2-5 categories that sum to 100%. Avoid pie charts for more than 7 categories or when comparing similar values. ChartGen.ai will suggest alternatives like bar charts if your data isn't suitable for pie charts.

What is an area chart and when should I use one?

An area chart is a line chart with the area below the line filled with color. It's ideal for emphasizing the magnitude or volume of data, showing cumulative totals, and visualizing part-to-whole relationships over time. Use area charts when you want to highlight the total value rather than just the trend.

How do I create an area chart with ChartGen.ai?

Creating an area chart is simple: 1) Upload your data file (CSV, Excel, or JSON), 2) Select 'Area Chart' from the chart types, 3) Describe what you want to visualize in natural language, and 4) Click Generate. Our AI will automatically configure the optimal area chart for your data.

What's the difference between area charts and line charts?

While both show trends over time, area charts fill the space between the line and the x-axis with color. This makes area charts better for emphasizing volume, magnitude, or cumulative values. Line charts focus on the rate of change, while area charts emphasize the total quantity.

Can I create stacked area charts to compare multiple categories?

Yes! ChartGen.ai supports stacked area charts that show how multiple categories contribute to a total over time. Simply include multiple data series in your file, and specify 'stacked area chart' in your prompt.

What data formats are supported for area chart generation?

ChartGen.ai supports CSV, Excel (.xlsx, .xls), and JSON files. For area charts, your data should have a time or sequential column (for the x-axis) and one or more numeric columns (for the y-axis values).

Can I create a 100% stacked area chart?

Yes, ChartGen.ai can create percentage-based stacked area charts where each category is shown as a percentage of the total. Simply mention '100% stacked' or 'percentage area chart' in your prompt.

Is ChartGen.ai part of Ada.im?

Yes! ChartGen.ai is a core product capability of Ada.im, an AI-powered data analysis platform. Visit ada.im to unlock the full suite of data analysis tools.

How do I customize the gradient and colors in my area chart?

You can customize your area chart colors using our 12 pre-designed themes or the color picker. In your prompt, specify preferences like 'use blue gradient' or 'transparent fill'.

How do I handle negative values in area charts?

ChartGen.ai handles negative values by displaying areas above and below the x-axis accordingly. You can also specify in your prompt how you want negatives displayed.
