Tabular data contains data points that can be represented using rows and columns. This data is often represented in charts such as bar charts, or as a pivot table on a page.

Tabular data is obtained from Oracle or SQL Server, and requires a dataset datasource.

Important Note: If your tabular data has timestamp information, you have another option. We can convert it into time series data by using the Relational Adaptor. This allows you to convert the data that you have in an Oracle or SQL Server database into a time series data stream, as you would get if you were connected to a PI or PHD historian.
