Hi all,

I am very new to ignition. I'm storing date stamp historical data from a tag representing the occurrence of "robot crash" on one of our assembly lines. I've created a query to group the number of occurrences by month and put it into a table (see attached). Now i want to graph the occurrences vs month data in a bar graph. Can some one guide me on how to do this.

Regards,

Alex

Hi Alex, it's very important for us to know if you're using Vision or Perspective or even a report since the methods to achieve your goal are significantly different based on which module you're using.

HI Leonardo,

It was in perspective. Ended up figuring it out after some playing around. Thanks for the reply though.
