    The format column index [index] exceeds the number of numeric columns ([number or columns])
  • Updated the included jQuery version to v3.7.1.

SPJS Charts v7.0.1.16 (September 28, 2021)

  • Included Note field as selectable.

  • Fixed a problem where using single quote in a chart filter option will result in no items being shown in the chart.

  • Fixed a few typos in various help texts.

You can also add a a code snippet to the page (in a Content Editor Web Part, script editor web part or using the Modern CEWP) like this to control the loading of one specific dashboard like this:
    <script>
    var defaultSPJSChartsDashID = 25;
    var hideSPJSChartsDashSelector = true;
    var hideSPJSChartsDashEditBtn = true;
    </script>
    In this example the number 25 refers to the item ID in the list “SPJSChartDashboards”.

  • Added more options to control the format of the totals row in a table chart by adding percentage and decimals as possible parameters.

v7.0.0.0 (July 02, 2018)

Initial release of SPJS Charts for SharePoint v7.

The solution has been rewritten to use asynchronous REST calls instead of the old webservice calls. This means the page responsiveness is better if you have multiple charts in one page.

You can still use a CAML query to filter the datasource, and in that case it will still use webservice calls, but asynchronous so the page don’t freeze up when waiting for the results. This does in fact make the query faster that with REST.
