Hi there  
I’m new to bubble and new to this forum. I don’t really know enough to know what I don’t know, but I’m trying.

I’m trying to figure out how to do the following in bubble. I want to build in application in which the user uploads a specifically-formatted CSV file to a database. Then, I want the app to be – essentially – a data dashboard for visualizations of the user’s uploaded data.

I’m a veterinarian and specialize in the realm of “shelter medicine.” I travel to animal shelters throughout the country teaching how to improve practices to help save more animals. One part of my work is to get shelters to use their data more effectively for decision making, and I feel that empowering them with good data visualizations will help.

Any thoughts or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

You may actually want to look into Metabase for this. [https://www.metabase.com/](https://www.metabase.com/)

Hey Ben!

Could metabase be used to let the users build their own dashboards depending on integrations/API’s we set up, they connect, and then they can chart what they want?

hey Ben,

Do you use Metabase with Bubble ?  
I am searching for a third solution to do requests and data visualisation.

Thanks
