Hi! I would like to suggest a feature for creating and modifying graphs/charts natively on Figma.

I design a lot of dashboards on a daily basis and unfortunately, each chart I encounter, I have to manually create and then use them as just placeholders (and sometimes the devs and stakeholders really need to see the real numbers on the designs, and it takes a lot of time to modify them).

I would love it if there were a tool on Figma that allowed us to:

  • Create (at least) pie, donut, line and bar charts;
  • Export and import the chart data as .csv;
  • Modify chart data and have it changed in the chart design;
  • Apply styles and variants to the chart design;
  • Enable chart legend.

PowerPoint and Adobe Illustrator have this type of functionality, so it would make sense to have it on Figma too.

 

Totally agree ! This a key feature missing for presentations.

And we could even imagine dynamic design assets related to data to create even more personalized data visualization !

Hi  ​@Aretha Alves , I am a coder besides the designer. I would like to ask , If I made similar plugin as You described would You be interested to use Pro version that is paid monthly ?

It's more a question of whether the company I'm working at would be interested in paying for it. To be honest, I don't think they would because they avoid subscription-based models unless absolutely necessary.

I second this. It’s a key feature that our team needs for creating reports. We’d be using Figma/Figma Slides for these reports if Figma had this feature. As it stands we’re stuck using Keynote.
