I’m using Bubble’s chart to display the total number of users per day, but in the ‘value expression’ I can’t put anything other than ‘current point’ where I actually want to use 'search User:count".

I have the exact same issue, I reported to Bubble and hope they will reply to me soon.

Hey @nguyenly.annie 👋

Let me see if I can help. I’m going from memory on this. 😊

I think you need to make sure you have some sort of aggregation on the ‘[grouped by](https://manual.bubble.io/core-resources/data/operations-and-comparisons#..-group-by)’ if you want to access more of the data. Otherwise, nothing will show up. Does that make sense?

Hi @J805

Thank you very much for your reply!  
Unfortunately, I already have an aggregation when I grouped the data; yet, there are still no other options.

May I ask you to test it on your end? Does that work for you? Or is it only on some device? Or is it a premium feature (very unlikely)?

It seems that Bubble removed that feature. I found that other people used to have other options in 2020. Maybe it is a bug.

Thank you again for your Help!  
Have a great day.

Sure, when I get to my computer I will check out my charts to see if mine still work. 👍

It shouldn’t be any type of premium feature.

I will let you know.

Oh! I found a solution thanks to @devin.fraze. He showed me that we can write the expression somewhere else (for example in a text box), then right-click on the expression to copy it, and then paste it into the Expression Value field.

Ok. That probably means it’s a bug then. If it works that way, then it should work filling it out too.
