column chart only permits count and count distinct, not actual value

I have:

 

Capture.PNGCapture1.PNG

 

and want to plot value vs date, but when I add value, only options are count and count distinct.

 

 

 

How can I get the actual values?

I want to see the columns growing as the date changes

Hi @Anonymous

 

The "Value" is defined as Char type column, hence you are seeing only count. Make the type as Number to see other aggregated functions like SUM etc.
