    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,
