C# - web gui for data dashboard and analysis

Question

Hey guys,
I want to identify the potential of developing dashboarding and data analysis functionality with C#.
What do I want to do?:
I want to know how it is possible with C# to load a data model (SQL, OLAP, ...) into a web application and do some analysis on it (diagram, filtering, ...) with the potential to do analysis on greater data models. See https://webapps.qlik.com/plant-operations/index.html as an example.

My problem is that I don't know what I have to search for. Every hint is welcome: tutorial links, examples, online workshops, buzzwords to search for, ... I found devexpress but at the moment I am not interested in spending thousands of dollars for a test project :) Additionally, it should work without frameworks if possible.

Thank you guys in advance for every hint!

What I have tried:

I mostly found products like devexpress or telerik. But I want to come up without license costs if possible.

First of all, there's lot of ASP.NET controls[^] you can use for free! You don't need devexpress or telerik. So, depending on requirements, you can build any GUI.
See: Getting Started with Chart Controls[^]

I'm sure that visual representation of data is very important, but much more important is what kind of data you do want to store and how! I'd strongly recommend to read about Big data[^]. Not every data is suitable to data analysis and modeling.

Conclusion: to be able to create such of GUI, you have to have a data which are measurable and divisible for the reason of ranges of time... So, move your focus on database.
