# View chart data as a table

> Switch a supported Building BI chart widget to a semantic table that shows the same categories, series, and values.

`View as table` opens a chart’s categories, series, and values as a semantic HTML table from the same result set the chart already uses. Use it from the widget three-dot menu on [supported chart types](#supported-chart-types) such as Bar, Line, and Pie when you need exact values or assistive-technology access without exporting or rebuilding the visualization.

## View a chart as a table

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open a dashboard with a supported chart">
    Open the dashboard that contains the chart. The chart must be configured and showing data.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the widget menu">
    On the chart widget, open the three-dot menu.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select View as table">
    Select `View as table`.

    The chart data appears as a structured table. You can read the same categories, series, and values without relying on the visual chart or tooltips.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## How the table relates to the chart

The table is generated from the same result set the chart already uses. You do not change the chart’s query, filters, or configuration when you open table view.

The table presents categories, series, and values in a structured format. Chart and table values stay aligned, with no rounding or formatting drift between views.

Building BI renders the table with semantic HTML and accessible headers so assistive technologies can interpret the data. You can also navigate the table with the keyboard.

Other widget types, including dedicated table widgets, are outside the scope of this feature. For Setup requirements per type, see [Chart types](/products/building-bi/reference/chart-types).

## Limits

`View as table` does not replace the dedicated Table widget. It does not turn the chart into a spreadsheet.

Advanced grid features such as multi-sort, column selection, and inline editing are out of scope. Only [supported chart types](#supported-chart-types) show the `View as table` option.
