Graphext craves data.

Datasets provide the raw materials for you to analyze in Graphext. They are organised intorows and columns. Each row contains one data point that typically hasa value for each column in your dataset. Columns are also known asvariables and hold a specific type of information on each data point.

Start from your workspace dashboard. You can load data from your computer into yourteam's Graphext workspace starting a new project. Graphext will loadthe data into your team's dashboard so you can start working with itstraight away or keep it saved for later. To discover how to loaddatasets stored remotely on services like BigQuery or Google Drive,see our article on Connecting Datawarehouses.
