Quick summary
This tutorial shows how to create a Coda chart from Google Analytics data by connecting the Google Analytics Pack inside a Coda doc and converting a synced table into a visual chart.

- Return to the main workspace and click 'Sync Now' to pull in your Google Analytics data.
- Click the drop-down arrow next to 'Refresh' to access table display options.
