Visualize Your Notion Data with the New Notion Charts
Exciting update from the world of Notion—just a few days ago, Notion rolled out a brand-new feature: Notion Charts. This upgrade is a game changer, especially for those of us who often find ourselves swimming in data within our Notion databases.
If you've ever faced the challenge of making sense of your data, you're going to love this new feature.
Previously, to visualize your Notion data with charts, you’d need third-party tools like Grid.is or Notion Charts, which always felt like a bit of an extra hassle. Well, those days are over! With this update, you can create your charts as easily as you create any other new database view in Notion.
Introducing Notion Charts
With the new built-in charts, you can now visualize all the data in your Notion databases seamlessly and without any extra tools. This exciting addition allows you to create various types of charts directly within Notion, making your data easier to interpret and more visually appealing.
In this blog post, I’ll walk you through why the new charts are such a remarkable feature and how they can help you visualize your data more effectively.
Why Notion Charts Are a Game-Changer

Creating a chart from your existing Notion database is a breeze. You can quickly turn your complex data into visual insights within your workspace. This reduces the need for additional tools and streamlines your workflow.
Multiple Chart Types
The charts feature offers flexibility with different chart types to suit various data visualization needs. Whether you need a line chart to show trends over time, bar charts for comparison, or even donut charts for proportions, Notion has got you covered.
Here's a list of all the chart types currently available:
Horizontal bar
Vertical bar

New Feature Coming: Chart Drilldown
As a sneak peek, Notion is planning to launch a new feature called "Chart Drilldown," which will allow you to click on any data point in a chart and review its underlying pages. This makes the charts even more dynamic and powerful, providing deeper insights with just a click.
