During the presentation, your CFO asks you to pick out the raw data from a particular chart. At that moment, you cannot go back to the underlying database and give him the exact figures, can you? Nor can you afford to waste screen estate on dashboards by displaying tables right below the charts. So what now? Bring in FusionCharts v3.1’s option to export the data from your chart in CSV with a single click in the context menu — and your problems are solved.\r\n\r\nSo let’s say this is one of the charts you have in your sales dashboard:\r\n
