Trend chart from csv-file
Hi all,
I have a csv-file with several lines in it.
Each line contains a timestamp and an integer.
I'm trying to create a trend chart from this csv-file.
I'm able to use the ReadCSV source, and when I run the report as a Detailed Table, I see all the entries of the CSV file.
However, when I run it as a Trend Chart, the timestamp field is not used as the X-axes for the Trend Chart, and I can't find anywhere to specify this field as the X-axes.
It just draws every entry as a seperate serie.
I've tried to cast the timestamp as a timestamp, a time, and a date, but it doesn't work.
Anyone an idea?
Kind regards

Hi,
You cannot specify which timestamp to use as the DPA GUI will always use the internal time stamp associated with each piece of data returned from the database when a data source runs. Therefore you cannot use an external data source with a trend chart as it does not have these time stamps.
Thanks
