Hey there, Awesome Customers!

Just a heads up: We'll be taking a breather to celebrate International Workers' Day (May 1st and 2nd - Wednesday and Thursday) and Orthodox Easter from Good Friday (May 3rd) through Easter Monday (May 6th). So, from May 1st to May 6th, our team will be off enjoying some well-deserved downtime.

During this time, our customer support will be running on a smaller crew, but don't worry! We'll still be around to help with any urgent matters, though it might take us a bit longer than usual to get back to you.

We'll be back in action at full throttle on May 7th (Tuesday), ready to tackle your questions and requests with gusto!

In the meantime, you can explore our documentation for Amelia and wpDataTables. You'll find loads of helpful resources, including articles and handy video tutorials on YouTube (Amelia's YouTube Channel and wpDataTables' YouTube Channel). These gems might just have the answers you're looking for while we're kicking back.

Thanks a bunch for your understanding and support!

Catch you on the flip side!

Warm regards,

TMS

    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?

    Hi Elvis,

    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.

    You can check out all the available chart engines and examples of wpDataCharts documentation here .

    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 :

    1476878896.png

    Then I made a few choices by the visitors, on the page with the Form to populate some data.

    This is the linked table :

    8607598731.png

    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.

    Here is an example of a pie chart from the data,

    3833896169.png

    and here is an example with a Bar chart

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

    If you wish to check our Form integrations, 

    they are :

    integration for Forminator Forms, ( a free add-on), 

    Formidable Forms integration;   and  Gravity Forms integration

    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)

    Let me know if you have any additional questions. smile.png

    Kind Regards,
