Which tools to create a website with an embedded dashboard connected to a database?

Hello fellow hackers,

I have created a personal dashboard in Power BI using a personal database that I've collected through months and that might be relevant to a specific industry.

Now I'd like to make this dashboards online with a nice and friendly interface, so other people from this niche can use the dashboards to run their own analysis and research.

The database uses some csv files which are connected through relationships that I've created.

It has fields such as: release date, sales, score, brand, etc.

Basically, I'd like to replicate my Power BI dashboard in a nicer template, including filters, tables and charts.

Thus, could you please help me finding friendly and budget tools that I can use to make my dashboard online and embed into a nice website?

Thanks :)

    Maybe ChartBrew is what you’re looking for: https://chartbrew.com/

      Thanks! Chartbrew seems to have the display functionality I am looking for. However, I couldn't find in their website a way to "drop" my csv files and replicate their relationships as I did in my Power BI file to create the visuals. Would you know if that's possible?

        Hey, I just posted a tutorial on the Airtable integration if you're still looking for solutions:

        Thanks for the mention @sarwech

        You're right @DuqueTheDuke, Chartbrew doesn't currently support data coming from CSV files, but it does support connections to Airtable if you can host your data there. Chartbrew is built to work with dynamic data from services and databases.

        Chartbrew supports API connections and can fetch the data from Airtable, although it might not be what you're looking for since it requires you to use Airtable's API. I currently use this for monitoring testimonials submitted through a form.

        Some quick settings for it to work just in case:

        I will create a full tutorial on this soon but feel free to reach out at [email protected] if I can help at any time ✌️

    ya, I think Retool.com or internal.io fit your use case

    What about Airtable?

      I may be wrong, but I couldn't find example of charts on Airtable website. I've seen only grids, calendar, kanban, etc.
