Methods, program products, and systems for analytical charting are described. A system implementing analytical charting techniques can receive a selection input from a data view displaying data retrieved from a database table. The system can determine a context of the selection input, a data environment in which the selection input is received, and characteristics of data being selected. Based on the context, the data environment, and the characteristics, the system can generate a chart data grouping that specifies a relationship between data in a chart. The system can automatically specify one or more data series for the chart based on the chart data grouping. The system can generate chart parameters automatically and transparently to the user. The system can provide the system-generated chart parameters for display and allow user modification to the system-generated chart parameters. The system can then generate a chart using the chart parameters.
