I have a pivot table with many columns.
I create a multi-bar chart graph with series of the columns.
How can I automatically set the range to be the active range of the whole table?
After choosing the whole range, only 6 series are added automatically.
How can I select all available series to appear on the multi-bar graph?

I've never used google sheets in my life and I'm trying to make different charts from different sets of data from the same table. For example I have the following table:
and i would like to make a chart using this set of data:
and then make another chart from this set of data:
but as you can see, doing it in this way it also gives me the data of the previous days.
Selecting only the numbers without the first row it doesn't give me the correct legend. How can I make charts using the same header but different sets of data?
In the Chart editor, set the data range to A1:D1,A4:D and choose Combine ranges vertically.
Alternatively, Insert > Sheet and use a filter() or query() formula in the new sheet to pick the rows you want to plot. Then insert a chart based on the data in the new sheet.
I have a data set with events and attendees and along with that also the focus area of the events. All events have a focus area 1 and some have multiple focus areas (2&3).
My goal is to have a tree map or pie chart that shows the number of attendees by focus area. If there are multiple areas then I do not want to count the attendees twice but basically assign a weight of 0.5 (when having 2 areas) or 0.33 (when having 3 areas).
Is there a way to accomplish this in Data Studio (can also include some pre-work in Google Sheets)?
The data has to be rearanged in follwing tables:
Event, Area, Topic, Areavisited, Attendance
Event1, 1, Security, 2, 56
This means you need to unpivot your table. It is possbible to do this in data studio with blend. However, no further field can be added to a blend dataset. Therefore, every calculation should be done in Sheets
Here is an example, how to do this with google sheets using pivot.
First generate a Vistfocus =CountA(B2:D2), counting the focus done at each event. Then do a pivot on that table and add as rows, the event/name and each focus-field. Add a summery row for focus2 and focus3. As Values add the attendance and Visitfocus. In H3 insert following formual:
=If(A3<>"",B3,if(A2<>"",C2,if(A1<>"",D1)))
Thus, the values from focus1, focus2 and focus3 are alternating between the rows. Extend this formula over the whole row. And name it Focus
Import this Sheet in Data Studio and filter all null values in ´Focus`.

I have a spreadsheet set up as a type of checkbook and I was wondering if given a column called "Amount" which records the various dollar amounts of the individual transatction. And another column "Reason" which the reason for a transaction is written down "rent, eating out, etc". Could I make a pie chart that will add all of the values that are in the Amount column if they have matching reasons in the Reason column.
So if I have five Reason entries listed as "rent" can I then get the sum of each cell from the Amount column that is in the same row.
Essentially I want to have a resulting chart that shows the total I'm spending on each reason with the labels that match the reason category.
--Edit
Heres an image of how my spreadsheet is set up currently with the solution of using filters to make a bar chart but I wonder if there's a better way to do this
Create a chart with Columns A (Amount) and B (Reason).
Create a filter with Column B (Reason)
Select/deselect the reason you want to include
You may also consider to filter with a slicer
In Google Sheets I have two columns, for the type of expense and the amount in that expense. I was able to make that into a pie chart, but I have a separate small table for the total budget and the amount of money remaining. I want to add the amount of money remaining to the pie chart, but I'm not sure how to because it is in a separate column. Is there any way to do this?
As far as I know you can't use several ranges for pie chart. If you want to combine this data, you have to make a separate table somewhere in your sheet and feed your chart from there. For example - if your main data is in a1:b10 and additional (small table) is in f20:g23, you can make an additional sheet and combine it there using: ={a1:b10;f20:g23} then use this range for your pie chart.
I have the below pivot table, and i created the chart only with the data inside the table, excluding the bottom line with the totals and the right column with the grand total. If new rows automatically appear, how can I make sure they autimatically get added to the chart without having to add the bottom line as well?
best option would be to use FILTER or QUERY formula on separate sheet or hidden columns to trim down your pivoted output and feed it to chart because charts do not support advanced formulae as an input
