Excel-to-dashboard analysis
Attach an .xlsx file to the agent, ask for analysis or a dashboard, and let Basedash read the rows, infer column types, and build visualizations without formulas or pivot tables.
Basedash
RivendicaBasedash is an AI business intelligence platform that analyzes data, builds dashboards, and lets teams work with Excel files both ways.
AI analytics for spreadsheets and dashboards
Basedash is an AI-native business intelligence platform that helps teams ask questions of their data, build dashboards, and share answers without writing SQL. The Excel launch extends that workflow to spreadsheets: users can attach an .xlsx file, ask the agent to analyze it, and get charts and dashboards built from the file’s contents.
The product is designed for teams that already work in Excel but need a more live, collaborative way to explore numbers and present results. Basedash reads spreadsheet data, infers structure, writes and verifies queries, and can export chart data back to .xlsx when a spreadsheet handoff is the next step.
Core capabilities
Conversational follow-up
Ask follow-up questions, drill into numbers, or add another file while keeping the same analysis session active.
Two-way Excel export
Export a chart’s underlying data back to .xlsx with one click so spreadsheet work can continue outside the app.
Plain-English analysis
Use the AI data analyst to turn plain-English questions into trusted answers, charts, and next steps, with query validation against schema and shared metrics.
Flexible deployment options
Deploy through agent, container, or Kubernetes paths, including self-hosted deployments inside your own infrastructure.
Broader product surfaces
Connect through a broad data layer and team surfaces that include Slack, embedding, automations, and MCP server support on the pricing page.
Practical ways to use Basedash for Excel
Turn a spreadsheet into a dashboard
Upload a spreadsheet when you need a dashboard quickly and do not want to rebuild the data model elsewhere. The agent can read the file, infer the columns, and assemble charts from the existing workbook.
Explore data interactively
Ask questions like what drove a jump in revenue or how a metric changed over time, then continue the conversation with follow-up questions until the analysis is complete.
Hand analysis back to Excel
Use the export flow when the next step happens in Excel, such as sharing numbers with a team member who prefers spreadsheets or continuing work in an existing workbook process.
Share dashboard outputs with a team
Use Basedash to create live dashboards and collaborate around the same data, especially when the spreadsheet is only the starting point for a broader reporting workflow.
Deploy in controlled environments
Choose self-hosting or VPC-based deployment when analytics must stay inside a controlled network boundary and align with enterprise infrastructure requirements.
Pros and Cons
Pros

Cons
