    I tried using that to build a visual, but it would only produce the axis and didn't display the data within.  Plus I'm concerned about the fact that my data will not always be named exactly the same way.  I guess I could ETL it to make the columns named the same, that just could make it a jumbled mess.  Anyway, here's some sample data.

        Well, what the heck. LOL I couldn't get it to display when I tried it!  Now I need to learn more about how to use this (like adding colors and such)!  Thank you!
