I have a dataset which returns data like below
Date, Area, Sales
01/01/2017, Canteen, 1000
01/01/2017, Gym, 3000
01/01/2017, Salon, 2000
02/01/2017, Canteen, 5000
02/01/2017, Gym, 6000
02/01/2017, Salon, 7000
I am trying to create a stacked bar chart using this data
The number of series will be different
I have the logic below to create the series, but I am not sure how to add each value, e.g. I need the X Axis to be by date and have 2 bars. Each bar is then stacked with 3 series, as per the above data.
while not tblSalesBreakdownByDate.Eof do
begin
nIndex := objList.IndexOf(tblSalesBreakdownByDateCategory.AsString);
if nIndex = -1 then
begin
objSeries := TBarSeries.Create(Self);
objSeries.MultiBar := TMultiBar.mbStacked;
objSeries.Title := tblSalesBreakdownByDateCategory.AsString;
chrtBreakdownByDate.SeriesList.Add(objSeries);
objList.AddObject(objSeries.Title, objSeries)
end
else
objSeries := objList.Objects[nIndex];
objSeries.Add(tblSalesBreakdownByDateTotalSales.AsFloat, tblSalesBreakdownByDateTransactionDate.AsString);
tblSalesBreakdownByDate.Next;
end;
When I run this, although it doesnt crash I dont see any of the series I have added?
Can anyone see what is wrong?
Is there an easy way to do this?
Ideally I would have preferred to have used a DB Chart but I am not sure how to do that given the data is not static?
Cheers
Paul
