After doing a few grouped column charts, I'm having difficulty getting my latest one to group. I'm thinking it may be in how I'm building my datatable, but can't seem to quite get it. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Below is my html & code, then what the chart looks like and then what the chart "should" look like. Please help. Thanks so much!

the reason you can only see the first datapoint is because you are setting Axis.X.RangeMin = 0, RangeMax = 1. Try setting Axis.X.RangeType back to Auto, I think that will fix the problem.
That helped, but for some reason my columns are gone and the first column value is against the y-axis.
