@Anonymous what are you trying to do?

The Category field is cut off from your screenshot and you have not put anything in the Start and End Dates. You need to provide all this information first before the chart will work.

If you can share a sample table of your data here and a brief description of what story you want to tell, we can help out more.

Please @mention me in your reply if you want a response.
