From spreadsheet to bar chart race, with one paste
Select your table in Excel or Google Sheets, copy, and paste it into MakeYourChart. It figures out whether your dates run down or across, fills small gaps and starts animating immediately.
No signup to start · Free 720p export · Pro $11.99/month
Three layouts that all work
Dates down the first column, one column per item (the usual Excel layout).
Items down the first column, dates across the top row (the usual Wikipedia table layout).
A long list with three columns: date, name, value.
Cleaning tips
Numbers can include $, %, commas or K/M/B suffixes.
Leave a cell empty when an item doesn't exist yet; it enters the race when its data starts.
Gaps in the middle are filled in smoothly.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to install anything?
No. It runs in the browser on Chrome, Edge and Safari.
Is it free?
Yes. You can build, preview and export 720p videos with a small watermark for free, no account needed. Pro is $11.99 a month and swaps our watermark for your logo, adds 1080p and 4K, 60 fps and music. Pro + AI is $19.99 a month and adds AI cleanup for messy data.
Do you upload my data?
No. Charts render and encode entirely in your browser, so your spreadsheet never leaves your device. The only exception is Fix it with AI, which you choose to use for very messy text. That's also why exports take seconds instead of waiting in a render queue.
