Hi, I want to use charts, but it seems that the input column needs to be numeric. The question is something along the lines of: "Can I use a calculated column to determine if a particular string exists in one column, and output 1 if it does, 0 if it does not?"
Something like the following:
Column A = Apple, Orange, Apple, Apple, Orange Column B = "If(A = "Apple", 1, 0) Column B data will therefore be: 1,0,1,1,0
That way, if I set my chart on Column B I can show that the count of Apples = 3.
Even better if I could then group by A to show that Apples = 3, Orange = 2 or some other mechanism.
I am sorry to disappoint you, but unfortunately, something like this is not possible with the plugin's built-in features.
Conditional rules cannot be used between columns, so this would not work.
Unfortunately, you will need to restructure this table, or create a custom SQL Query to build a new table showing that data, but creating custom queries is not included in the provided support for the plugin, so we wouldn't be able to help you with that.
