iOS Charts: Combined data into stacked bar chart? - ios

Question

I'm fairly new to using the iOS Charts library and I was able to make a bar chart, but I'm having trouble understanding how to "stack" a set of data containing the same x-axis value.
Here's what my bar chart currently looks like:
And the code to achieve this:
extension MyViewController: IAxisValueFormatter
{
func stringForValue(_ value: Double, axis: AxisBase?) -> String
{
let record_ARRAY = record_ARRAY.sorted(by: {$0.date < $1.date})
let date = record_ARRAY[Int(value)].date
return ReusableClass.typeThreeDateFormat(date: date)
}
}
var chargeDates_ARRAY = [Date]()
var chargeCosts_ARRAY = [Double]()
override func viewDidLoad()
{
chargeDates_ARRAY = [2017-08-05 07:00:00 +0000, 2017-08-06 07:00:00 +0000, 2017-08-06 07:00:00 +0000, 2017-08-07 07:00:00 +0000]
chargeCosts_ARRAY = [8.0, 3.0, 5.6600000000000001, 4.4400000000000004]
createBarChart(dataPoints: chargeDates_ARRAY, values: chargeCosts_ARRAY)
barChartView.delegate = self
}
func createBarChart(dataPoints: [Date], values: [Double])
{
var dataEntries: [BarChartDataEntry] = []
for index in 0..<dataPoints.count
{
let dataEntry = BarChartDataEntry(x: Double(index),
y: values[index])
dataEntries.append(dataEntry)
}
barChartView.xAxis.valueFormatter = self
barChartView.xAxis.granularity = 1
barChartView.xAxis.setLabelCount(dataPoints.count, force: false)
barChartView.animate(yAxisDuration: 1.0, easingOption: .easeInOutQuad)
let chartDataSet = BarChartDataSet(values: dataEntries, label: "")
let chartData = BarChartData(dataSet: chartDataSet)
barChartView.data = chartData
barChartView.zoom(scaleX: zoomXMultiplier, scaleY: 0.0, x: 0, y: 0)
barChartView.barData?.barWidth = barWidthMultiplier
}
What I like to do is combine the data containing the 2 same x-axis values 08/06/17 into one stacked bar, and achieve something like this:
I've tried to follow the answer from the question: Stacked bar chart with charts in Swift
But I couldn't get anywhere.
Can someone help? Thanks!

Try to construct your chargeCosts_ARRAY = [8.0, 3.0, 5.6600000000000001, 4.4400000000000004] as chargeCosts_ARRAY = [[8.0], [3.0, 5.6600000000000001], [4.4400000000000004]] basically you are trying to create an object of type [[Double]](). Then change BarChartDataEntry(x: Double(index), y: values[index]) to BarChartDataEntry(x: Double(index), yValues: values[index]). Happy coding :)
