This guide walks you through chart & visualization issues using Microsoft-supported steps first, with WPS only where it genuinely helps.
Problem Description: Creating Interactive Dashboard
Greetings, I am trying to take the data that I will be inputting throughout the year and turn it into an interactive dashboard that will make it easier to read. I have inserted a screenshot below of what the data tab looks like, and it pulls its data from the month tabs. I am looking to see if it is possible to create a dashboard using the data screen I have or do I need to change it. I would like the dashboard to have the following options: 1.) Show the totals overall in a chart. 2.) Have the option to show the totals by month if I click on the month. 3.) Have the option to click on each equipment number and show the overall data for that specific piece equipment as well as each month. This will be first time I have attempted to create a dashboard and everything I see on online does not help with the data tab I am using. Any help will be appreciated. I can provide more screenshots if requested.
Quick Answer for Chart Quick Fix

Likely Causes Behind Office Failure Patterns
The Microsoft account or license context may not match the purchase or device.
Cached credentials, outdated builds, or damaged local components can trigger chart & visualization issues.

When to use this: Apply these steps when the symptoms match and you can access the relevant Microsoft account or administrator.
However, this issue relates to Microsoft Power Apps, which is outside the current support scope for Microsoft 365 products.

Alternative Solutions for Fallback Options for Chart
Retry the Microsoft-side steps after restarting the app and device.
Test the same action in a private browser session or a new blank file to isolate account vs file issues.
Capture exact error text and screenshots before contacting Microsoft Support or your administrator.
Working with WPS Office: Editing Files in WPS During Chart

WPS Office cannot replace Microsoft account, activation, or cloud fixes for this scenario. It remains one of the best free Microsoft Office-compatible alternatives for opening and editing local files.
Download and install WPS Office from the official website.
Open local Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or PDF files in the matching WPS app.
Save a working copy locally while Microsoft-side issues are resolved.
Return to Microsoft Office after the primary fix succeeds.
If you need a practical local workspace in the meantime, try WPS Office.
Prevention Tips for Smooth Office Device Transfers
Keep one primary Microsoft account for subscriptions and Office sign-in.
Install updates for Office and Windows before retrying failed workflows.
Back up important files before repair, reset, or reinstall actions.
Document exact error messages before the next troubleshooting attempt.

What should I send to Microsoft Support? The affected account email, device type, Office version, exact error text, and screenshots with personal data hidden.
