Abstract

A computer-implemented system, method and computer readable medium to generate graphical visualizations corresponding to a data set populated in a web-based document, such as a spreadsheet. The spreadsheet is accessible in an interne or cloud-based system, and enables users to automatically create graphical visualizations or representations based on recommendations by a spreadsheet application. The graphical visualizations may be automatically ranked such that the system provides the recommendations to the user for display. Automatic ranking is accomplished, for example, by determining data types from identifying column type, differentiating column types, and extracting data sets having attributes corresponding to various graphical visualizations.
