Hmm...I answered my own question.
[ { c: [ { v: 1, f: "Smith" } ... ] }, { c: [ { v: 2, f: "Smith" } ... ] } ]
Results in an error:
Invalid data table format: column #0 must be of type 'string'.
Can anyone offer a suggestion? Is it possible to change the row label after
the groupByRowLabel has been invoked such that if I did have "Q1", "Q2",
etc. used as row labels, swap them out for other values just prior to
rendering?
Thanks,
David
