Sorry sticky fingers….

The line ‘Do a text search for the line and copy the path and filename into the address of a new browser window.’ should have referred to the line of the source which have the script src reference to the jscript script.

Nothing showing could be caused by several factors. Based on my learning of how to get this setup (I’m no expert) the 2 key ones for me were:
1. the path or access to your jscript library is not working.
2. the data can’t be parsed correctly so google charts doesn’t know what to show so shows nothing.
–
The easiest way I found to check (1) above is to view the source of the page you were expecting your charts to be displayed on. Do a text search for the line and copy the path and filename into the address of a new browser window. If you get a prompt to download the script then you’re OK.

To check (2) above:
- You views must be grouped
- Make sure you have NO totals set up on the views
- Make sure the group summary lines have a count in brackets such as ‘Department: All(3)’?
- Do not use commas in any of the text on which you want to group – if you must use a comma then you’ll need to edit the script to recognise when parsing the data
- The views with the grouped data must be place onto the same page as you CEWP with the script. Just make the views not visible if you want to show the graph only without the source data

I can’t get this to work either. Have 3 views from the same list, copied the script, edited for the script library and nothing. Not even an error message on the page. its as though the script doesn’t even load. anyone else get a response?

Hi Satish,

All the charts are generated dynamically. Break your requirements down into steps:
- Can you create a grouped list of information you want to appear on a chart
– If you can’t format the data into a list then you will struggle to do a chart using this method
- Once you’ve got a list, look at the grouping so that the summary totals create the values you want on the chart
– Tip: If you want a chart to show each item in the list then just group by a unique value to each item
- Now you’ve got your group list you can follow all the previous instructions using the scripts provided to create your charts

regards

Hi, I was really excited to read that the same list could be used for mulitple charts. I’ve made views on the list with a filter and then applied the same grouping parameter and totalling.

The lists are all arranged as instructed and when I run the page I get one large Piechart, tilted at an angle.

Having tried the first post in your series, looks like that. I did try another post and this gave me two graphs next to each other, based on your first work, though I can’t make it run for more than one list or one view on a list. -> http://wyly.wordpress.com/2009/04/24/adding-graphs-bar-and-pie-charts-to-sharepoint/

So I was quite exocted when I got to the third in your series and now I seem a tad lost. Any ideas what I may have done wrongly ?
