I am stuck!
I thought this would be simple but I cant find a plugin that support it.
I have a field which is populated by a list of numbers: 28.0,28.4,28.9,27.4 etc…
I want this field to be the data points for a line graph
is this possible with chart.js or another chart solution in bubble?
All of the tutorials on youtube refer to fields with single values in them
In my experience Chart plugins usually require similar arrays of numbers.
Are the numbers coming in a string form?
Oh, then it’s one of 2 possilibities:
In case 1 you can simply run :each item converted to number to extract the list of numbers
In case 2 you can first convert it to a list of strings and then a list of numbers by running
:split by ' , ' : each item converted to number
This first splits the string by the comma ( , ) character and then converts the resulting list of text into a list of numbers.
I have a hunch that one of these might work!
i appreciate your time trying to get this to work.
when i select the correct field from the api call or alternatively from the saved data in the database. I hover over the result (which is coloured blue) and it says evaluates to a list of numbers.
the options available to continue the expression are :formatted as a number (this turns the result red)
or if i try to type in the second option it doesn’t save. There isn’t an option for :split by so i cant build the expression by selecting this from options presented.
which plugin are you working with?
maybe you could try to test with a list of numbers your end and see?
Just a list of numbers should actually work.
: formatted as text would actually make it of type text which is not valid.
Bubble’s chart plugin as well as the Chartjs plugin require a similar list of numbers
looks like there is more than one chart js
this chart js plugin works perfectly out of the box with a list of coma separated numbers. its very powerful and easy to use.
thaks for your input as always we get there in the end. 
Yes, at the core though they all use the same library, so I’d expect them to work similarly.
Glad you got it to work!
Cheers
