Report Builder Preview and Actual not matching up

So I am trying to use the Bar Chart. I have used it many times before but for some reason I am struggling. It works perfectly in the preview, I go to the actual perspective report viewer and it isn't even close to being correctly rendered.

I thought it could be the data coming from the query I am running, but it isn't the preview will run the query and return the data and show it in the chart just fine. I even made a sample array by hand and it works in the preview, but that same sample just doesn't work in the client...

Preview:

Client:

Each member of the array I am feeding it looks like this :

{
"name":fAsset["name"],
"Chlorine":0,
"Nitrogen":0
}

I have the bar chart configured to use row extract order render as bars. No scripting enabled.

I am really scratching my head on this one. I even tried removing the graph and remaking it. I am sure I am missing something.

Reporting wants to work off "real" datasets, not JSON arrays-of-objects that Perspective likes to use. Are you bringing the data in to the report viewer component in Perspective via a query binding, and have you tried changing the return format to dataset?

Duh...Late night trial and error leads you down bad paths lol.

Thanks for the reminder. Dataset was the answer. I should probably not be sucked into report builder after midnight.

Tip: if you have to move a query binding to capture the dataset for this sort of thing, you can replace the original binding with this one-liner if you have my Toolkit installed:

forEach({path.to.dataset}, asMap(it()))

Though I like to show the structure with whitespace, like so:

forEach(
	{path.to.dataset},
	asMap(it()))
)
