Data visualisation help much appreciated  

I'm sick of presenting shitty Excel data visualisations as much as I love what eg. D3.js can do. There's some fancy stuff out there but they all require coding to some extent to run or be embedded … all of which proved being beyond me. I need a solution that can interpret simple structured .csv (or .txt or smth similar simple), and outputs vector/bitmap files.

My aim is to create 2D data visualisations (donut chart for data set A, vertical bar chart for data set B). Both data sets are simple tables:
A
NAME (txt) | VALUE (int.)

B
NAME (txt) | VALUE (int.) or VALUE (hh:mm:ss)

Names are people's names and may run a bit long.

Yes, I do run some CLI stuff regularly but I can't code.
No, I don't want to use AI.
No, I don't want to register for a paid subscription to a capitalist platform.

Help and boosts appreciated!

@BabyFn0rd it's right on the edge between "CLI stuff" and "programming" but have you looked into gnuplot? It's great for non-interactive visualizations akin to what Excel charts can do (and more) and it's very well suited for incorporation into a workflow or pipeline that takes CSVs/TXTs/other flat-files to PNGs or SVGs
