Hi all,
I am having issues with organizing my database to make charts.
The data I want to plot exists is the result of a series of questions asked to the user.
I have tried saving the data as 2 “lists of things” (1 for categories and 1 for values) within “user”. One is a list of text, the other a list of numbers.
With this way:
- I can only use the amcharts plugin, as the jscharts plugin does not accept lists as input.
- I am having the problem that when I try to sort the values in the chart, the X-axis labels are not associated with the values so the values sort, leaving all the labels in the wrong place.
Another strategy I tried is:
I could save the data as a new “type” (so not within “user” but separately), but how can I
- Tie a set of inputs to a user so it can be saved, shared and retrieved upon later login?
- Prevent the database from flooding with each and every value ever put in?
Any advice here would be greatly appreciated!
