Hi all, I'm trying to build this chart with two categories in X axis. This is my data looks like in SQL ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/9/e/9e8c4cfbeff01c0315e89308c5dfa016ab8b6a52.png) Is it possible to create a chart like this (this was made in Excel) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/6/3/63d502a176630acad0e0b09a1c335242698ba075.png) ---

Are you working in Vision, Perspective, or the Reporting module? ---

Sorry I should've mentioned: it's Vision module ---

I'm guessing this is not doable in Vision? ---

It's probably _possible_ via the configureChart extension function, but I don't have any examples at hand nor the time to figure it out, unfortunately. Someone else may be willing to volunteer their time. I'd suggest searching this forum "Jfreechart" to get a starting point. You probably want to supply a custom renderer for the chart items. ---

Just taking a quick look at this, it looks like it would be fairly trivial to do with a classic chart. The chart barked at me a bit as I was modifying its configuration, but once everything was changed over, it worked. **Example** **1.** Start by changing the chart type to a category chart: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/7/e/7e5aac3d8c2f76c77385c2261d885919a7ac6d6b.png) **2.** Right click on the chart and select "Chart Customizer" **3.** Hit the plus icon in the upper right corner of the Datasets tab, and add a second dataset for the secondary x-axis: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/3/2/3208e592622ed4048b65b84a52a64b1fe8dc00e4.png) **4.** Switch to the X-Axes tab and create a new category axis by clicking on the "+" icon in the bottom left corner of the customizer: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/b/3/b3839412ba49a1691b3a7770a0145e0d8920e0c5.png) **5.** Use the "X button to delete the Default X Axis, and recreate it as a category axis **6** Configure the label orientations of the two x axes: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/3/8/382e96213199ff01151ddf9c275dcf52dfe56ae1.png) **7.** Okay the changes that have been made so far, and add the desired secondary labels to the second dataset **8.** Switch to the Dataset Properties tab, and assign the second dataset's X Axis property to the second dataset: Set both datasets Renderer properties to "Category Bar Renderer" ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/6/1/61e308b8ec8e5ecbd21e94e80cde7f8b86517e56.png) **Result:** ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/0/b/0b84554e216c0fc57aedbfb32da3242f25f27429.png) ---

Hi Justin, Is this possible using perpective? I dont see the chart category chart selection when using xy chart or bar chart.
