Categorical Data Analysis

Introduction

Categorical Analysis helps analysts understand relationships between non-numeric variables in datasets. Traditional methods using Excel require manual data manipulation, pivot tables, and complex formulas. While Excel offers tools like COUNTIF and pivot tables for categorical analysis, these methods demand significant spreadsheet expertise.

Sourcetable revolutionizes categorical analysis through conversational AI. Upload any data file or connect your database, then simply tell Sourcetable's AI chatbot what analysis you need. The AI understands natural language and automatically performs complex analyses, creates visualizations, and generates insights - no spreadsheet skills required.
