Abstract
Disclosed are a method, information processing system, and computer readable medium for graphically representing data in a spreadsheet. The method includes displaying a set of tabular data visually arranged at least in rows and columns. A user selection of a first dimension and second dimension of data in a series of a first column and second column, respectively, in the set of tabular data is received. A user selection of at least one series identifier in a third column is received. Each distinct set of data entries within the third column is found automatically and without manual intervention. A graphical representation of the user selected tabular data is automatically created without manual intervention. The graphical representation is based on the selected first dimension of data in the series, the selected second dimension of data in the series, and the selected series identifier.
