The Explore Data cell is a no-code option available in the Add New Content menu that allows users to browse data quickly without any technical knowledge. Just load a connected data source or upload a file, and let DataLab do the rest!

To use, click on "Explore data (no code)" from the Add new content menu in the Editor:

Then select your data source (and data frame if relevant) and DataLab will quickly run a SQL query behind the scenes to produce a table of the data.

After the table loads, you can create a new one simply by clicking the Chart toggle and selecting your chart type, the X-axis, and the Y-axis from the available options.

Finally, at any point, you can convert this Explore Data cell into a SQL cell type, allowing users to perform further data analysis.
