Details
The table functionality of this plugin is fully-featured. Adding a table is a simple matter of entering a title and the number of rows and columns you wish to start with. The plugin provides a spreadsheet-like editor which enables you to easily add rows and columns, enter data in the table (including images, links and formulas) and customize the basic formatting for data cells.
You can preview the tables right from a tab on the plugin screen, and you have access to the table’s CSS to customize the display completely. You can use the settings tab to set up certain features of the tables such as pagination and sorting.
The Pro version of the plugin enables importing and exporting data, but more importantly for our list, creating charts and diagrams from your data. Creating a chart starts by selecting the data in your table and clicking the Add diagram button.

This plugin is a great option if you need to manage your data inside the WordPress administration, but the charting functionality is not much different to the Visualizer plugin as they use the same Google Visualization API, so it may not be worth paying for the Pro version is you plan to import your data anyway.
