# Working with Charts

## Binding a Chart to Data

There are several ways to connect a chart element to a cross-tab table:

1. **Drag from the Data panel** — drag a table card from the right sidebar and drop it onto the canvas. A bar chart is created automatically.
2. **Insert via toolbar** — click the **Chart** button in the toolbar, then pick a table from the dialog.
3. **Ask the AI** — type something like *"Add a bar chart for Q3 — Brand Awareness"* in the chat.

## Changing Chart Type

Select a chart element, then use the chart-type dropdown in the toolbar. Available types:

* Bar (vertical)
* Horizontal Bar
* Line
* Pie
* Donut
* Stacked Bar
* Grouped Bar

## Selecting Banner Points

When a chart is bound to a table with multiple columns (banner points), use the **Banner** dropdown in the toolbar to choose which column(s) to visualise. Selecting multiple columns produces a multi-series chart.

## Chart Colours

Click the colour swatches in the toolbar to change the primary colour. The palette rotates automatically for multi-series charts.
