Data Studio is where you work with data visualizations. It can recognize the data in charts you already have, or read an Excel or CSV file you upload, and turn that data into objects you can keep editing. From there you can quickly build common charts — column, stacked, line, pie, scatter and more — so preparing data and building charts fit together seamlessly.
You can also restyle tables, for example turning a plain table into a three-line table that suits a formal report, or unifying chart colors and fonts.
