Seeking Suggestions For Choice Of Graph Types/s To Use

[adam nealisParticipant]

Hello,

I have a data set which has 4 columns:

date/ YYYY-MM-DD
extraction time/ s
yield/ g
grind setting/ text

I want to see, for each grind setting, how extraction time varies by date. I cannot find a way to group my existing data within datagraph itself. I can’t find a way to filter data based on the grind setting (the manual says “you can filter on text”, but when I tried that, it refused to filter on text. Possibly my misunderstanding). I can’t find a way to do a multi-key column sort and thus use range groups.

Do I need to partition my data into different column groups? That makes data input more complex for me.

Are there graph types that fit my requirements?

Here is a small example set that sounds similar to what you have, assuming you want to do a plot of the data over time. The issue may be that you have to select a type of filter that works with text data, in this case by selecting ‘Matches’ when setting up the mask.  In the example below, you also have to click Bridge gaps in data, as the rows are not sequential when the filter is applied.

Hope this helps, but please follow up if you not getting the results you want.  Also, sorry for the delayed response – this slipped through the cracks as we were finalizing version 5.1.
