# Creating Manual Visualizations

{% hint style="warning" %}
Visualizations can only be created from a table with the proper structure. Often this means that a visualization cannot be created on raw data. Typically [Pivot Tables](/using-arcwise-in-sheets/pivot-tables.md) are required to prepare the data for visualization.
{% endhint %}

To create a visualization use the following steps.

1\) In an Arcwise connected data tab with an appropriate structure navigate to the Arcwise connected data tab view: [Arcwise Connected Data](/using-arcwise-in-sheets/arcwise-connected-data.md).

2\) At the top of the **Next steps** section click the visualization icon and select **Arcwise visualization**.
