Hey @Robert_Petitto, Amazing idea.  
Just wanted to check if the user wishes to upload data with Previous date than the date already there in sheet, in that case how can we adjust the graph to be show dates in sequence, any trick for that?

As long as you’re using the date they entered rather than the “current date time” it should order it automatically.

Has anyone figured out how to get the [Word Cloud API](https://quickchart.io/documentation/word-cloud-api/) to treat short phrases as individual words?

For example, I want to be able to send it something like `text="Open Minded" "Happy" "Risk Taker"` and have it return a word cloud with just 3 “words”. But it seems that it splits on white space so the above example returns 5 words.

I’ve tried all sorts of permutations…

- `text=Open-Minded Happy Risk-Taker` (removes the hyphens and returns 5 words)
- `text=Open Minded;Happy;Risk Taker` (ditto, with the semi-colons removed)

The only way I managed to get it to “work” was by using underscores, eg. `text=Open_Minded Happy Risk_Taker`. That “works”, but the underscores are left intact so the resultant chart looks a bit ugly.

I tried emailing their support, but after a week I’ve had no response 😭

Try replacing the spaces with empty characters.

Close, but no cigar.  
Seems like it removed the empty character and joined the two words. So `open‎ minded` became `openminded`.  
But perhaps it’s just a matter of finding the “right” empty character to trick it… I’ll experiment a bit.

I also thought I could be a bit clever by examining the [source](https://github.com/typpo/quickchart), but couldn’t any reference to the word cloud API in there 😒

Hey @Darren_Murphy just throwing this out there - what about some padding between the words?

BINGO!!

After much trial and error, I found that the [Braille Pattern Blank](https://www.htmlsymbols.xyz/unicode/U+2800) (U+2800) symbol works when sent as an HTML escape sequence. (`%E2%A0%80`)

So… `https://quickchart.io/wordcloud?text=Collaborative%20Humorous%20Efficient%20Open%E2%A0%80Minded`

returns…

Thanks @Jeff_Hager, for once again pointing me in the right direction! 👊

Update: This workaround is no longer necessary. See [below](https://community.glideapps.com/t/quickchart-io-the-cloudinary-of-charts-on-the-fly-charts/15946/101).

I just put QR codes in my app.  
This is a game changer.

Right now I just wanted to see if I could scan the QR pic (in my glide app) with a QR scanner. I am wanting to create an app that you can scan (using glide - I will be waiting for that to come out) the QR code for students to use as hall pass. This way the admin and other teachers can see who is out of class.

I found this website that would useful making QR codes.  
[Click here](https://www.urlencoder.org/)

It show how to put different characters (new line, …) in the QR code.  
QR code with multiple lines
