The XY Chart needs to be supplied with a datasource. Drop an XY Chart into a view and you will see the sample data in the Perspective Property Editor under `PROPS.dataSources.example`.

Study that and how the axes are using the data.

If you have further questions then post a set of data here and [format it as code](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/wiki-how-to-post-code-on-this-forum/77831). Your dataset will need to have at least two columns - one for the X-axis and one for the Y-axis.
