Using variable data with graphs

Hi there,

Been trying to import data from a csv file into a graph using Variables with no success. I can import the csv data & the graph into the Variables window (see screenshot) but the Data Sets don't update the graph. Is there a particular way of prepping the CSV file/graph or have I missed a step?

Thx in advance,

Niall

thx Monika, yes I tried the instructions on that link. All tuts seem to point to the Variable Importer addon but can't find any for using Variables in illustrator

Try looking for a script called Variable Importer by Silly-V (Vasily Hall) on git hub. There should be a tutorial as well.
