Free online graphing app that plays well with Excel?

November 22, 2011 2:23 PM

Asking for a colleague: "Back in October 2008, I found a free online app that uploaded data from Excel and produced (very pretty) charts and graphs. Unfortunately, I didn’t keep track of the website, and I’m having trouble tracking it down again. Most of the free graphing apps I’ve found online today require that you manually input the data; I’m looking for something that will more easily upload a set of data from Excel."

Best answer: Maybe you're thinking of IBM's Many Eyes?

Take a look at this online implementation of R's ggplot2 package.

Also take a look at tableau. They have a free version.
