How to create a Network Graph without coding
You need to visualize relationship mapping, and you know a Network Graph is the perfect chart for the job.
But when you try to make one in traditional tools like Excel, you realize it requires advanced plugins or coding. You waste hours looking for tutorials or templates, only to end up with a static image that you can't interact with.
You need a better way.
The Problem with Traditional Tools
Most BI tools treat the Network Graph as an "advanced" feature. They require:
- Specific data formatting (that takes hours).
- Installing custom scripts or plugins.
- Writing code (Python/R) just to get the dots to show up.

Export to Presentation
Once your Network Graph looks perfect, you don't just take a screenshot. You can export it directly to an editable PowerPoint slide or share it as an interactive link.
Why Network Graph Matters
A Network Graph is a visual representation of relationships and interactions between entities, often referred to as nodes. The connections between these nodes, known as edges, illustrate how the entities are related or interact with each other. Network graphs are commonly used in social network analysis, communication networks, and biological systems.
Thus, a Network Graph is perfect for showing flows and relationships in your data. Whether you're analyzing customer journeys, resource allocations, or any process with inputs and outputs, this chart type makes complex information easy to understand.
