The Tables to Charts feature in Arbor allows users to create and download visual representations of data directly within the platform, enhancing data analysis and presentation capabilities. Users can select data ranges, choose from various chart types, and customize their visualizations before exporting them as PNG files.
Our Tables to Charts feature gives you the ability to create data visualisations directly in Arbor, reducing the need to export your data out of Arbor for further analysis.
- View, draw insight, ask questions and take action from your data in the way you need to.
- Turn your rows of data into colourful graphs that you can quickly drop into report packs and presentations.
As this is a new feature, we're always looking for ways we can improve it to suit our school's needs. If you have any feedback, please submit it to our product team here: Tables to Charts

FAQs
Can we swap the X and Y axis?
You can change the order of the columns, then draw chart again to swap the axes.
Can we create a Live Feed?
It isn't possible to live feed a chart directly - you would create a live feed of the underlying data, then create a chart from that data in for example Excel.
Where can we use this feature?
Exporting charts and graphs directly from Arbor will be found across your MIS. It is available for schools and is also available on the MAT MIS.
If you don't see the right-click option, that's because you're looking at a text-based table, which cannot be visualised.
