The simple approach to build a graph would be to extract the needed data, and place the graph with that data next to the table. Even though this would work, this approach is not very good because there is now two copies of the same data, and both need to be updated when something changes. Also, if the graph is inside the text, the article becomes even longer and filled with graph code and data - fewer people will be able to edit it. If the graph is placed in a separate template, the editors are more likely to forget to update it when changing the data.
