Adding additional text and number formatting to Glide chart

[Darren_Murphy]

@Skyler_Norgaard

Is it possible for me to change the decimal numbers to a percentage (they represent % left of my budget per category).

You should be able to use a math column to format the numbers as percentages, and then use that in your chart.

@Skyler_Norgaard

Is it possible to add text showing the $'s remaining? (this is saved in a column in the same table and is easily accessible from a data perspective)

Not directly to the chart, but you can use a text component to show that value above or below the chart.

The native Chart component that comes with Glide is great for quick and dirty charts, but for more advanced charting most of us usually turn to quickchart.io. See the following thread for plenty of inspiration:

Quickchart.io: the Cloudinary of Charts —on the fly charts!

GAME CHANGER! Stumbled upon this site today—a way to create on the fly charts using data from your Glide tables. Images render instantly and you can select one of 14 different charts, customize colors, styles etc all through URL parameters! The video below shows my first attempt to create a chart from scratch and implement it in Glide. Took me less than 5 minutes. End result: [Screen Shot 2020-09-17 at 10.10.46 AM]
