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, data like this which will be stored in multiple Columns/series for charts like that,
it can't all be in the same Chart if you have to use the Pie chart type.
Exactly as you said, for a Pie chart you can only pick one Column to provide the 'slices' with percentage for a Pie.
But you could use multiple pie charts and set them on the same page, next to each other,
that could be an option;
or you can try with another Chart Type, as Column chart, sure.
I will give you an example, if you will use a Form Plugin to collect the data from user submissions for a Survey,
then you can use one of our Form integrations to output the data in Tables,
and thus making Charts from the table(s).
-
This is an example where a user needed to make a Survey Form, and each user would have multiple choices,
which gets saved by the Form,
they wanted to make a summed up Chart that shows how many times each choice will repeat.
-
In this one we use a Gravity Form, but the same 'logic' can be used for any of our Table types.
Here we add a hidden number field to the Gravity Form,
that will always have a predefined value of 1 to prepopulate every row of data and it will be used as a "counter" for how many times each choice will repeat.
Here is my basic example, i have a multi-select field in a Gravity Form,
and we add a hidden number field :
Then I made a few choices by the visitors, on the page with the Form to populate some data.
This is the linked table :
Now, we will make a chart , and we enable "Chart Grouping" , so that all values that have the same value will group up to add up how many times they repeat for the chart.
Our devs are working on our own Form Plugin, too, but i can't say an ETA when it will be finished.

And i just wanted to point out that you can try wpDataTables before purchasing
on our sandbox Demo sites ( you can find links for the main plugin Demo,
as well as add-on Demos, in my signature),
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)
Hi!
I'm looking for a solution for upcoming project and I'm not sure, if wpDataTables can cover all the demands of the client.
It's a survey about how children are going to school (walking, bike...).
Answers are grouped depending on the age of the children, there are 3 groups/ranges (see the attachment):
A) 1.Class (green color)
B) 2,3,4,5.Class (yellow color)
C) 6,7,8,9 Class (red color)
I would like to create 3 charts for each group/range from a single spreadsheet/datatable.
Charts for groups/ranges B and C would have to represent aggregated data (sum) form multiple rows.
I tested free version of wpDataTables and I'm not sure, if this can be done with Pro version.
I hope I was clear enough.
Regards, Elvis

I've just realized, that pie chart is not an option because of the 2 columns limitation.
If I'm correct, I could use for example Column chart with Grouping option?

Let me know if that works for your use-case.
