Does someone have a recommendation for an AE plugin that generates multi-line Line Chart animations and Bar Chart animations – and is able to utilize spreadsheet-type of data?

    You can use JSON:

    Looks complicated.

    How do you import spreadsheet data there?

    The only spreadsheet-to-AE solutions I know are:

    CompsFromSpreadsheet 5 - aescripts + aeplugins - aescripts.com

    and

    Templater Rig - aescripts + aeplugins - aescripts.com

    But both do target on mass production of videos (so called "Personal Videos") and I'm not sure, if they can do what you want.

    However, the JSON-way is the built-in solution of what you want to achieve. Maybe you find an easy way to convert your spreadsheet into a JSON file.

    In general it should be doable to transform CSV data into keyframes with a script. Let us know, if you find something!
