Issue with allocating data in Chart Widget
I created a chart using the chart widget on our team dashboard and finding it difficult to have the data displayed correctly. I created a sheet and added the following columns "Office" and "Status". The permissions for the "status" option includes a dropdown with the options "In progress" and "Completed".
The chart successfully pulls the data onto the team dashboard but combines both the "In Progress" and "Completed" line items rather than dividing them into separate data. Is there a workaround?

Are you able to provide some screenshots for reference/context?

I created a report in which I would like to collect separate data for projects "completed" and "in progress". Ideally, I'd like the graph to display separate captures for "Status" rather than combining the counts.

Hi @HAA
Charts can only use the first Grouping/Summary from a Report, as you've found. Here's the announcement post when this feature was released with more details:
One option would be to create separate reports per-office, then create 6 Chart Widgets looking at each individual Report.
Another option would be to create a Metric Sheet where you can use formulas to generate your numbers. For example, you could list the Office/Region down one column and have one column per Status.
Then you can use a COUNTIFS Function to find out how many rows match your criteria, like so:
=COUNTIFS({Column with Offices}, [Office/Region]@row, {Column with Status}, "Complete")
Cheers!
