}I am trying to play with visuals, and I am 1 step behind "Hello, World!". I thought I would output the metadata... but the results are totally not what I expect. eg: if I use the "FileStorage" dataset, I get...
Column isMeasure QueryName GroupName
| Date | undefined | Date | undefined |
| Sales | true | bmw | BMW |
| Sales | true | alfa | Alfa Romeo |
which doens't seem to map that well to :

am I missing something here? or does my code just suck? 🙂
