The Data Table Fallback

Offer the underlying numbers in an accessible table.

When Words Are Not Enough

A one-line summary tells the story, but some users want the numbers. A data table gives them the raw values behind the chart.

The Table Is the Source of Truth

Think of the chart as a visualization of a table. Offer that same table in real markup and every assistive tech can read it perfectly.
