Preferred method: If you have any control over the database, FIX THE DESIGN. If not, use a UNION query to normalize the data, then use a filter function to filter on grocery type and refresh the ArrayCollection. Icky method: If you have no control over the backend at all, then you can use something like myChart.dataProvider = nastyArrayCollection ;-) HTH; Amy
