Hi

The code below is a classic chart with a dataset call D10.

```auto
event.source.parent.getComponent('ClassicChart').D10
```

Is it possible to change the last part dynamically and join this onto the address for the chart.

`DatasetPath = "D15"
event.source.parent.getComponent('ClassicChart').+ DatasetPath`

Thanks

Aidan

You can place your datasets on the root container of the window. Then use a dropdown list to change the datasets on the classic chart. My script looks like this

[code]if event.propertyName == “selectedValue”:  
a1=event.source.parent.amps1  
a2=event.source.parent.amps2  
selectedChart=event.source.selectedValue

```
if selectedChart == 1:
	event.source.parent.getComponent('Chart').Data=a1
elif selectedChart == 2:
	event.source.parent.getComponent('Chart').Data=a2

```

[/code]
