How to use Google Chart with data from a csv
Question
I have a csv file that looks like that:
week,value1,value2
1,2,3
2,7,9
I would like to plot a stacked graph of it using google chart (week being my x (horizontal) values and values1 and values2 being the two set of y's). Unfortunately, I didn't find any easy way to do so. That probably relates to me being a complete noob in js.
Is there any simple way to do that?

The jquery-csv library provides the ability to translate a string of csv into an array to be used by google.visualization.arrayToDataTable() (their example here ). To make this work, add jquery.csv.js to your server (in the example below I assume it is in the same folder as your HTML) and link to it in your <head> . The following is a simple script you can add to your <head> to get started. I assume a scatter chart, but this process works for any of the charts here . You will also need a <div> with id="chart" for this to work.
// load the visualization library from Google and set a listener
google.load("visualization", "1", {packages:["corechart"]});
google.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart);
// this has to be a global function
function drawChart() {
// grab the CSV
$.get("example.csv", function(csvString) {
// transform the CSV string into a 2-dimensional array
var arrayData = $.csv.toArrays(csvString, {onParseValue: $.csv.hooks.castToScalar});
// this new DataTable object holds all the data
var data = new google.visualization.arrayToDataTable(arrayData);
// this view can select a subset of the data at a time
var view = new google.visualization.DataView(data);
view.setColumns([0,1]);
// set chart options
var options = {
title: "A Chart from a CSV!",
hAxis: {title: data.getColumnLabel(0), minValue: data.getColumnRange(0).min, maxValue: data.getColumnRange(0).max},
vAxis: {title: data.getColumnLabel(1), minValue: data.getColumnRange(1).min, maxValue: data.getColumnRange(1).max},
legend: 'none'
};
// create the chart object and draw it
var chart = new google.visualization.ScatterChart(document.getElementById('chart'));
chart.draw(view, options);
});
}

I have been searching for a while, and found the solution on a Google group discussion. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/google-visualization-api/cnXYDr411tQ
I have tried it, and it works!
In this case, we have to specify the header types of our csv file.
var queryOptions = {
csvColumns: ['number', 'number', 'number' /* Or whatever the columns in the CSV file are */],
csvHasHeader: true /* This should be false if your CSV file doesn't have a header */
}
/* csvUrl is the path to your csv */
var query = new google.visualization.Query(csvUrl, queryOptions);
query.send(handleQueryResponse);
function handleQueryResponse(response) {
if (response.isError()) {
alert('Error in query: ' + response.getMessage() + ' ' + response.getDetailedMessage());
return;
}
var data = response.getDataTable();
var chart = new google.visualization.ColumnChart(document.getElementById('your div'));
// Draw your chart with the data table here.
// chart.draw(view, queryOptions);
}

What server side scripting language are you working in (php, asp)?
One option could be to import the data from a spreadsheet saved in Google Drive, see here for a PHP based example of saving and extracting data from Google Docs. This would then enable you to update the spreadsheet and the chart would automatically plot the new data.
