How to create a Radar Chart without coding
You need to visualize multivariate data, and you know a Radar Chart is the perfect chart for the job.
But when you try to make one in traditional tools like Excel, you realize it is cumbersome and requires manual data arrangement. 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 Radar Chart 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.

Why Radar Chart Matters
A Radar Chart, also known as a spider chart or web chart, is a graphical method of displaying multivariate data in the form of a two-dimensional chart. Each variable is represented on axes starting from the same point, allowing for easy comparison of multiple variables across different categories.
Thus, a Radar Chart 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.
