I am struggling to make a piechart of my expenses that can interpret a dropdown list.
Whenever I try to create the chart somehow the graph cant realize that Categories with the same name should be grouped together. It's driving me insane to the point I registered here!
Does anybody have any input on how to get around this?
Thank you!

I want to make a vertical google chart with multiple lines.
So for whatever reason I thought it would be interesting to see and track the progress of my finger mobility after my recent surgery with a google sheets spreadsheet and chart. Every so often at Physical Therapy they measure the angle of my finger. I haven't received the measurements yet so I have only been working with random numbers for the meantime.
So This is kind of what I was thinking either with the different days separated or overlaid on top of each.
Is this possible and if so how could I do this?
As a bonus it would be cool to have the angles at the joints of the graph but I'm not sure if that's possible either.
Thanks for indulging my curiosity.
EDIT *
I was working on a version that almost got what I was wanting I just could not figure out how to add multiple to the same chart or to overlay them
This was with the help of Vertical Line Graph in Google Sheets (Workaround) tutorial.
here is how you can achieve it:
I want the Google Sheets chart x-axis title to change when the data in a chart changes. I've made a simple example to demonstrate the problem. In the following animated gif (click to see greater detail) the x-axis title does not update when the data in the scatter chart changes.
Apparently this happens because the source cell for that title (A1) is itself a formula (to give the average of the x-values -- in my real-world example, it's more complicated than that).
The only way I know to fix this is to delete the chart and make a new one, as shown in the last part of the animation. But with my real-world example, this is a lot more troublesome.
Thanks for any help.
I have been running a couple of tests and have some experience on how the charts are created under Sheets in comparison to the ones in Excel.
There have been multiple forums discussing this particular issue, the main issue with it is the fact that this portion of the Chart is only a title text and does not linked to any portion to the table or that you cannot select a custom formula to be used for updates. It is also mentioned over the official documentation that you can only manual edit this titles.
As an alternative, you could implement a script so it changes the chart title for the average.
function onOpen(){
SpreadsheetApp.getUi().createMenu('Charts').addItem('Update title of the first chart from active cell', 'myFunction').addToUi();
}
function myFunction() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var chart = sheet.getCharts()[0];
chart = chart.modify()
.setOption('title', sheet.getActiveCell().getValue() || 'Empty')
.build();
sheet.updateChart(chart);
}
The portion of this code has been found and discussed over this thread.
I also believe that it should be a feature directly on Sheets and it should be implemented in the future, you can send feedback from the help option or go to the Feature ideas portal:

I have some FILTER functions lined up in the grey cells shown below.
The problem is that when data changes, oftentimes Sheets will leave behind ghost values that need to be manually deleted. There's no way I can keep doing that. It's totally breaking the functionality of my spreadsheet.
The only valid FILTER result is in Column M shown below. You can tell because there's actually a value in the grey cell.
Data With Ghost Errors
How can I get around this glitch? Is there a way to force these formulas to refresh or something? I tried SpreadsheetApp.flush(); and that didn't do anything.
In the meantime You should never need to have multiple FILTER() formulas next to one another that are filtering based on the same thing.
write just ONE filter formula with your desired ranges placed in curly brackets with commas between like this:
=FILTER({Data!A2:A,Data!G2:G,Data!X2:X}, Data!B2:B>= A230)
I have filed an issue on the Issue Tracker to track this.
If you are affected by it go and "star" it to let Google know!

Guys can you please help me understand how to create a PIE chart out of these data?
Table in google sheets
Where RED value is the main sum of all expenses and GREEN values are expense per category. MY goal is to have a monthly overview where money are going by category.
Thank you! :)
So I have 3 values which are, Percent, Target, and Overtime.
I want to show on the chart the percent with overtime as one stacked column chart, but for the target, I want to make it show as one line as it will be like a fixed value.
I have tried a lot but it didn't work for me at all. Does anybody have any idea how to get this working, please?
Here is the sheet for the chart: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pSyWYMzDFGDNkDTfv1LMurcsvrN6bx3GjxVbmqFijk8/edit#gid=0
Is this were you looking for?
Chart editor: in Customize tab on Series setting you can change each one of [Percent,Target,Overtime] specifically to be type [line, column, or more] to make combo chart
I hope it'll help you
