add a map visualization chart type
* It should take lat, long or city,state or zip for US cases.
* Is Swivel planning to do anything with geocoding?
* Couldn't find a "map" chart type (i.e. displaying quantitative data on a U.S. map), so I didn't pursue further.
* "wanted to do a heat map to show metrics by geography for U.S."
* was sent the example http://code.google.com/apis/chart/types.html#maps
* I am looking for your mapping capability. I understood that I could upload mapping data and map it in different ways
* I wanted to upload some data from an excel spreadsheet to view in google maps… more27 votes -

Add formulas to spreadsheets!
* Potential user said that in order to be able to use the product, she needs to be able to use/update formulas in her spreadsheets. She doesn't see the benefit of using Swivel over Excel until we can get formulas in.

Let people organize data/charts/reports into folders
The data/charts/reports page gets cluttered really quickly. I would like to:
1. make folders
2. drag data/charts/reports into the folders5 votes -
tags or folders for more organization
* Tags have the potential to help give public data some searchable structure, especially if we're dropping categories.
* Wanted tagging or folders in order to organize the data he's creating.
* I checked the group function on your website but it seems it doesn’t support categorization.4 votes -
have a slideshow function
Once all my graphs and data are in here, the key is sharing it in a structured way. Is there a way to create a slide show and sorter like you can do with an photo site (flickr, picasa) so we can create shows or reports viewable on here.

change source info on embedded charts to show data description and "see source data on Swivel" link
It's confusing for charts that are embedded elsewhere, and not on Swivel, to display the data source as "Swivel." The source of the data is not Swivel; the source of the data is whomever did the research/collected the numbers. Swivel is the host.
It would be so much better to display the description below the chart for an embedded chart, and then add a link that says "See complete source data on Swivel."

allow zoom in/out of non-date based timeseries
you can view date based timeseries in 1-yr / 1-mo / 1-wk views, but can't do this with timestamp based timeseries that are under 1 day in total length (e.g. https://www.swivel.com/charts/19325-Civic)
p.s. ooh almost 20k charts

Allow QIF export
QIF export from Swivel could let me view a report on revenue, slice and dice it, then import it to my ledger in MYOB or Great Plains. Usually there's no bulk undo in accounting software so if you import bad transactions you have to correct each one or fudge a fix.

have ways to incorporate Swivel charts with other social media platforms
* You + Posterous would be my dream love-child.
* For viz integrate my Flickr too, and Twitter, with pop-up bubbles I could populate using screenshots (Jing, etc)
* "Do you guys integrate with Facebook?" "What are you doing with the sharability of social networks?"1 vote -
My Files 500 Error
I uploaded a .xls file to a group in Swivel Business, and now can no longer access My Files. It looks like I get a custom server 500 error. I do not see my .xls file anywhere.

allow me to embed a table (rather than a spreadsheet)
I'm sure there's a way to rename the headers in Swivel, but darned if I could figure it out.

have mouseovers not obscure chart title
When I try to embed the chart onto a web page, the category labels hide the chart title, even if it’s the large size. Is there any way around that?

* Can you resort data once it's in Swivel, or do you need to go back to Excel, resort, and then re-upload?
