Data and Data Label Properties
Attach your data to the valueTable property. It is possible to graph multiple columns or rows of numeric data. If you include a label column in your data attachment for valueTable, it can be used to label either the x-axis or the legend, depending on whether the rowSeriesFlag is selected or deselected. The rowSeriesFlag controls how row and column data populate the graph:
 

If the rowSeriesFlag checkbox is selected, one group of bars will be shown for each numeric column in your data attachment. Within the group for each numeric column, there will be a bar for each row in that column.  Column names will be used for the x-axis labels. If your data attachment has a label column and the rowLabelVisFlag is selected, data from this column will be used in the legend. If your data attachment does not have a label column, select the rowNameVisFlag checkbox to use row names in the legend. By default, the label column is the first non-numeric text column in your data. Specify a column name in the labelColumnName property to set the label column to a specific column.

If the rowSeriesFlag checkbox is not selected, one group of bars will be shown for each row in your data attachment. Within the group for each row, there will be a bar for each column in that row. Column names will appear in the legend. If your data attachment has a label column and the rowLabelVisFlag is selected, data from this column will appear on the x-axis. If your data attachment does not have a label column, select the rowNameVisFlag checkbox to use row names on the x-axis. By default, the label column is the first non-numeric text column in your data. Specify a column name in the labelColumnName property to set the label column to a specific column.

Attach your data to the traceValueTable property to add one or more traces to your bar graph. If you include a label column in your data attachment for traceValueTable, this is used to label either the x-axis or the legend (depending on the rowSeriesFlag) if no label is available from the valueTable data attachment.  By default, the label column is the first non-numeric text column in your data. Specify a column name in the traceLabelColumnName property to set the label column to a specific column.
