Series not showing in TeeChart when created at runtime?

Viewed 765

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
