Question about making graphs using a data stream

I have a data stream using accepting realtime data from a python API i wrote. When I try to make a graph out of the data it keeps using the Count or the aggregate of data. How do i just plot 2 variables against each other. Below is some information that might help:

 

The format in which the data is being received:

[
{
"Date" :"2024-04-02T13:23:24.464Z",
"DeviceID" :"AAAAA555555",
"Humidity" :98.6,
"Alcohol Concentration" :98.6,
"Temperature" :98.6,
"Distance" :98.6
}
]

 

 

How its being shown when I try to make a report out of it:

A table of the Data (How do i remove the sum of from all the columns):

I haven't yet figured out how to make graphs with this data.

In a table, you can show the numbers without aggregation by right-clicking on the field and selecting "Don't Summarize".

However, for some visuals, such as line graphs you must aggregate the columns somehow (sum, min, max). If the column that you are grouping by is unique, then it shouldn't actually matter what the aggregation is set to, as it will only display the one number it is linked to.

In the Fields area where you can drag and drop fields into areas that accept them, look for your summarized columns. You can change the aggregation to something else, or even to NONE.

Best practice is to set the default aggregation on a column in the Model view so it behaves that way every time.
