If you can't find the [Chart from Table](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/TFAC/How+to+use+Chart+from+Table+macro?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) macro in your macrobrowser, it means that the [Table Filter and Charts for Confluence](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/27447/table-filter-and-charts-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview&utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) app is not installed for your instance.

This app is developed by our company and it is a paid one unless your Cloud instance is small (1-10 users).

this article might help you better understand the macro - <https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-chart-macro/> . Once the chart is inserted then the data can be entered in the resulting table.

It looks like you're using the old Chart macro (which I hope is going away). To use the new chart feature, you should be able to select you table, and then in the table options menu, you can select "Insert Chart".  

Does this work for you?

body: Thanks This sounds a lot simpler but I can't seem to access the Table options menu !

body: It seems that you are using an old legacy editor. Please give us a screenshot of your source table in the page edit mode with the headers visible. We'll try to advise.
