Hi All  
First of all, thanks… I have been using this forum a lot and most of the time I got the help from those posts.

But, today, Im trying to populate a XY chart with a table that i got from a named query…  
I may not understand yet how to link the data to the series… seems like its so simple but im missing something.  
I have a named query “x” and i got a dataset… think it might be binding to the example or not, delete example and create the name I want must have same effect. The data set is a dynamic table that change often, but, at least have Model and Quantity on it.

Want to create a bar chart that shows the quantity per model… got nothing… lol… a blank graph…

Please explain how to bind the data to the series, I will appreciate.

Hi Jesus,

Have you tried bringing the data back in json format?

yes… no luck either…  
in json format the data looks just like the default example data … and in that way I assign to the series data what in the points names are…

Json format  
and here is how I bind the series(X) to the data
