Speaking for an Engineer unfortunately often data is simple CSV. Parsing this data robustly and visualizing it without scripting is still something that hasn't been solved.

If you have any idea how to do it, I'd be more than glad to hear about it.

You can visualize CSVs easily without scripting: use Tableau or some other BI tool [1] (not free though).

There are free alternatives, but many require programming.
