superdocs charts

A Pack for Superhuman Docs

BI-grade charts, straight from your tables.

Type =BarChart(Sales) and get a crisp, carefully designed chart of your table: bars, lines, donuts, funnels, waterfalls, treemaps, sankeys, heatmaps and more. It redraws whenever the data changes.

Real data: Our World in Data / Ember. The formula above draws it from a 208-row table.

How it works

  1. 1

    Name a table

    =BarChart(Sales) or =Chart(Sales, "line"). The first text column becomes the labels, number columns become series, and a second text column splits them. Raw rows are fine: repeats are summed.

  2. 2

    The Pack renders it

    The Pack reads the table, takes currency and percent formats from its columns, and a rendering service built on Apache ECharts draws a 2× PNG with a colorblind-checked palette.

  3. 3

    A chart lands in your doc

    The image is attached to the doc like any other. Change a cell and the formula recalculates and redraws it.

  • One formula per chart type, each just (Table, "title"), plus Chart(Table, type).
  • Extra settings in plain text: options: "sort: desc; group: Segment". Repeats are summed, or averaged or counted if you ask.
  • Three themes: paper, dark and navy, with number formats for currency, percent and compact.
  • Private by design: the chart service only accepts requests from Superhuman's Pack servers. It reads your table through the Superhuman Docs API (read-only) to draw the chart; table data isn't stored or logged. Rendered images are cached for 7 days.

Real-world data

Public datasets loaded as ordinary tables, charted with one formula each.

Playground

A live table, like one in your doc. Add rows and columns, change the numbers, rename things, or paste cells from a spreadsheet. Then edit the formula or pick a chart type. The chart is drawn with the same code the Pack runs. Nothing leaves your browser.
