How to set up dynamic charts in Glide?

Step 1: Create Your Data Sheet

  • Fire up Google Sheets or Excel.
  • Start a fresh sheet just for the data you want to show off.
  • Fill it up with your data. Don't forget those important columns like Date, Value, Category, etc.

Step 2: Setup Glide App

  • Head over to Glide Apps.
  • Log in or sign up if you’re new.
  • Hit the "New App" button to get started.
  • Pick "Google Sheets" or "Excel" as your data source and select the sheet you just made.

Step 3: Configure the Data

  • In Glide, go to the "Data" tab.
  • Double-check that all your columns are there.
  • Rename columns and tweak data types if needed.

Step 4: Add a Chart Component

  • Switch to the "Layout" tab to set up your app’s look.
  • Click the "+" button to add something new.
  • Pick "Chart" from the list of components.

Step 5: Configure the Chart

  • Choose the type of chart you want (Bar, Line, Pie, etc.).
  • Set the data source for the chart, usually your imported sheet.
  • Map the right columns to the chart’s Axes. For example, X-Axis to 'Date' and Y-Axis to 'Value'.
  • Optionally, use filters to show specific data.

Step 6: Customize The Chart

  • Tweak the chart style to fit your needs (colors, labels, legend position, etc.).
  • Use dynamic features like date pickers or dropdowns if your data supports them.

Step 7: Preview and Test

  • Use the “Preview” function in Glide to see how your chart looks.
  • Test the interactivity and make sure it updates as you expect.

Step 8: Publish Your App
