Line graph works in preview, but not when created [message #1393986]

Hi,

I am new to using birt to create charts, so forgive me if this is a simple solution.

I am trying to create a line chart, and everything is fine up until a point. I have tested my sql query and it works fine and should return 140 results (it is returning the amount of searches performed per day over a period). When I go to 'select data' in 'edit chart' it only displays the first 6 rows (out of 140), but the chart is being displayed correctly. When I click 'finish' the data seems to be ignored and the chart only has 5 points and the date shows as January 2000. I have attached screenshots for further explanation. I guess I have two questions:

1. Should the preview window be showing the 140 queries, or will it only show 6 as an example.

2. Does anyone have any idea why it is not creating my actual graph properly?

Without executing the report, you won't see the actual output. For design purposes, it pulls in some sample data to show you an approximation of what you'll get. In the layout, it simply shows the type of chart you have with sample data that's probably not meaningful at all to your data. To see what your chart actually looks like, preview the report by going to the run report button in the toolbar.
