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!
For one of our projects, we are evaluating your free plugin before making a purchase. After extensive research, it still produces incorrect results when creating a chart. We need to create over 100 simple column charts from various sources. In our dataset, one column contains years and the second column contains data in percentages. However, when attempting to create a chart, the wpdatatables plugin incorrectly populates the axis, showing years as the Y-axis and percentage data as the X-axis, which is incorrect. We have attempted to fix it, but without success. Please help, so we complete the purchase.

Hello,
We have a solution for this.
The issue is, you have the percentage symbol in your source cells on the Excel.
This can not be read as numeric Data in our Plugin, thus it renders it as a String Column.
In Charts, you can not use a String Column for the series; it can only be taken as data labels on X axis.
The solution is, to remove any symbols and just leave pure numeric data in the cells of your source Google Sheet,
then you can make integer or Float Column from this in our connected Table.
( Just also double check if you have the same Number Format matched in the main plugin settings, and the decimal numbers)
After this, just go in the Display settings of the column, and add any prefix or suffix symbol there.
That was just a quick example for currency, but In your case, just remove the percentage signs from your souce cells in Excel, and insert them only as pure numbers.
Then later just add the percentage sign as prefix/suffix in the Table column display settings.
-
Just a side note : If you plan to have the percentage symbols show in the data values on the Chart :
This can't be inherited from the table's prefix or suffix, so you will need to use wpDataCharts callbacks to display the percentage.
Take a look at this page, where we explained how this can be added on a chart with two Y axes. The same logic applies to one axis.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
Kind Regards,
Miloš Jovanović

Thanks for your help. But how we show Y axis on right side, instead of left side?
As per chart.js tutorial adding this code will solve the issue but it did not work with Wpdatatable plugin.
options: {
scales: {
yAxes: [{position: 'right',
ticks: {
reverse: false
Hello,
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.

You are on the right path, a custom chart callback will be needed.
Basically, is the default behavior of the charts engine.
If you can't find the option you need in the Chart Wizard, then you would need a custom callback to change it.
You can check our documentation about wpDataCharts callbacks.
There we have one custom example of a hook for each Chart Engine.
Please also check out this YouTube Tutorial with an additional example how we can use a custom hook to assign two Y axes.
I hope that helps.
