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!
Can this plugin count the number of items in a column and can that result be used in a chart?
Hi, Nisa
Firstly, I would like to sincerely apologize for the delayed response as we have been experiencing an unusually high number of tickets. I am sorry that it has taken longer than usual to respond to your concern and your patience is highly appreciated.

Yes, depending on how you create the table, it is possible.
I will give you a working example of a Manual table with couple of Apex chart engine examples.
Let's say if we have a column that holds the item names, "item name".
And if we create additional column ( which you can hide if needed) called " item count".
We make it integer type, and set predefined editing value to be always "1".
In this example, i just name some items, item A and item B , and every new row i input, the item count already pre-populates adding number 1 in each row.
-
Then, if i create a basic bar chart, and if we take columns item name, and item count:
We will use our chart feature "Grouping in charts" (please check more details here);
If you enable this feature, the values of the rows with the same label will be summed up and rendered as a single series, if it’s disabled (the default case) all rows will be rendered as separate series.
This can be helpful if you have repeating rows with identical names in your table, and you want to show them as sum of values for this name in your chart. This feature will also work in combination with Follow table filtering.
As you can see, now it is showing that item A is repeating itself 4 times, and item B twice, and it is presenting how many there are in the chart.
The same goes for this pie chart, with the additional percentages shown. If i hover the mouse over the series, i get this tooltip showing that there are four of "item A", and two of "item B".

Let me know if that workaround might work for you, or if you need something else.
Thank you

And, just wanted to point out that we have a Demo Sandbox site, where you can try out the plugin functionalities, on this link
and there is a 15-day money-back guarantee period, So if you purchase the plugin, you can safely fully test it out, and if it doesn't fit your needs you can request and receive a refund in that period. ( same goes for all plugins and add-ons)
Kind Regards,
Miloš Jovanović
