We're Moving to a New Support Platform – Starting June 1st!

We’re excited to let you know that starting June 1st, we’ll be transitioning to a new support system that will be available directly on our product websites – Amelia, wpDataTables, and Report Builder. In fact, the new support platform is already live for Amelia and wpDataTables, and we encourage you to reach out to us there.

You'll always be able to reach us through a widget in the bottom right corner of each website, where you can ask questions, report issues, or simply get assistance.

While we still do not offer live support, a new advanced, AI-powered assistant, trained on our documentation, use cases, and real conversations with our team, is there to help with basic to intermediate questions in no time.

We're doing our best to make this transition smooth and hassle-free. After June 1st, this current support website will redirect you to the new "Contact Us" pages on our product sites.

Thanks for your continued support and trust – we’re excited to bring you an even better support experience!

    New to WpDataTables, but I have a lot of experience with charting programs.  I'm trying to create a simple stacked bar chart.  The chart will show milage by month by name.  So the names will be on the Y-Axis and the miles on the X axis.  I want the miles to be stacked by month.  So, it would have a different color for January, February, March, etc for each user.  This seems to be simple example of a stacked bar chart, but I can't get it to work.  The stacked bar chart only allows one text field as input.  So, I can't use Name and Month in the chart.  I tried looking into the group-by-row option, but I can't seem to get the group-by option to display in the table setup.  I'm using a simple manually built table just to test out the charting.  I know that the row grouping function only works on a server-side table, but not sure if the manual tables qualify.  I really appreciate the help. Thanks

    Hello Jeff

    Thank you for your purchase.

    We have little control over this, since chart engines impose this limitation. As you said, only one string-type column can be used to generate a chart, so if you have a column that consists of names, you won't be able to use a column which consists of dates.

    Instead, you need to do one of the following:

    1. Leave the name column, so each new row consists of a name of the user, and then add new integer columns which represent each date; like this:

    Then, a stacked chart would look like this:

    2. Leave the date column, and split the names into separate columns, like this:

    Then the chart would come out like this:

    That's the only way to make it work.

    Kind Regards,
