I have a large set of data that I want to import and display in graphs. It seems the built in graph styles are pie and bar, is this hold for the google charts as well – it seems like they have a lot of different ones but I am unclear how to implement those through the wordpress/formidible set up. I have also been frustrated by the inability to filter data for graphs. I have energy use and cost data for a number of buildings and would like to be able to show it both aggregated (by owner and department) as well as at the building level.
I would have another form with entries for each building. Could those be somehow connected to the use/cost data for that building, and then graphed (effectively filtered?)
Would prefer to keep the energy data in a few tables/forms but maybe it will only work to import it into a separate form for each building and then select those different fields to aggragate rather than filter…
Any advice on how to manage this would be helpful..
I am also interested in possibly hiring someone to help make this work the way I want, I thinking I am missing some background on editing WP and using codes, and suspect this can do more than I am capable of implementing right now.
I thought I’d seen a few names or offers to help in knowledgbase before but can’t find now.
thanks

Sorry for the slow response on your question. Your ticket slipped through the cracks some how and I somehow archived your topic before responding to it.
The built-in graphs functionality is quite limited. We rely on 3rd party graphs and with that comes some limitation. The Stats functionality is a bit more robust, and I know some users have been able to use the stats with other graphing providers to accomplish more demanding tasks. Here is a link to the stats knowledgebase page. http://formidablepro.com/knowledgebase/add-field-totals-and-statistics/
There are a few developers who are familiar with Formidable Pro who may be able to help. Robert Clap is the first person I would try to contact for some assistance: http://formidablepro.com/help-desk/can-i-hire-someone-to-help-me/
