  1. In an Excel chart, you can exchange rows and columns in the Select Data Source window by clicking the Switch Row/Column button. There is no equivalent functionality in FusionCharts; this is a serious usability shortcoming from our perspective for the following reason: it makes it impossible to switch rows and columns in a chart without exporting the list to Excel ... which should be the whole point of using FusionCharts: to allow charting within SharePoint without having to exit to an external application (or having to restructure a list, which in many cases will be unacceptable as a solution). A PDF which illustrates the problem with a radar chart is attached.

  2. Apologies if there's already a thread for this, but after searching I can't find an existing thread that addresses this topic. I'm evaluating FusionCharts for SharePoint for possible purchase. I have simple test data in a list of the form:

     

    Column 1 - Title (Apple, Orange, Pear, Melon)

    Column 2 - Variable 1 (numbers from 1-10)

    Column 3 - Variable 2 (numbers from 1-10)

    etc.

     

    When I embed a FusionCharts web part in a page and select the list as a source, it displays fine. However, the spokes are title values from column 1, and the series are the variables in columns 2, 3, etc. I want to flip the axes, essentially: have the spokes be the variables, and the series be the values from column 1. This is easy to do in Excel, but I don't see any way to do it in the FusionChart wizard. Is there a way to do this short of writing a web part in XML, and if not, where I can find documentation on the latter? Thanks!
