I'm not a native speaker so maybe I'm wrong. But I'd say that - a "table" is a list of data organised in rows and columns - a "graph" is a visual representation of data with dots and lines - a "chart" is either a table or a graph
- I'm not a native speaker so maybe I'm wrong.

Kangiten has it exactly right.
Except that a graph can be dots, lines, circles, bars, and other visual representations, not jus dots and lines.

Thanks. "A chart is either a table or a graph." What makes a chart different from a table or a graph?

It's not different - it's inclusive. When someone says "As you can see on the chart, sales have been increasing" - the reference to "the chart" could be either a graph or a table.
