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!

    Hi,

    I need assistance in creating a wpDataChart to visualize how many times each radio button selection has been repeated across form entries in wpDataTables. I want to achieve the following:

    1. Group the entries by the radio button selection (e.g., "Milan", "Barcelona", etc.).
    2. Count the frequency of each unique radio button selection (e.g., how many times "Milan" appears, how many times "Barcelona" appears).
    3. Create a wpDataChart that accurately reflects this data, ideally in a bar chart or pie chart format, displaying the count of each selection.
    Example of the Data:

    Here is a sample of the data I have in the table:

    • Milan
    • Milan
    • Milan
    • Barcelona
    • Inter
    • Milan
    • Barcelona
    • ManUtd
    • ManUtd
    • Barcelona
    • Inter

    I would like to generate a table where each radio button selection (e.g., "Milan", "Barcelona", etc.) is grouped, and the count of how many times each selection appears is displayed next to it. For example:

    Milan ---- 4

    Barcelona ---- 3 

    Inter ---- 2 

    ManUtd ---- 2

    My Questions:
    • How can I group the entries by the radio button selection and count the frequency of each selection in wpDataTables?
    • Is there a way to create a wpDataChart that will use this grouped data to display the frequency of each selection?

    Hello,

    Yes, i believe we have a useful example to show you of a similar use-case.

    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.

    -

    We solve this by adding 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 :

    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.

     Thank you

    Kind Regards,
