Chart macro: Error with chart data 'XX' could not be converted to date

Charles Benkend

Hi all,

I have a series of MySQL queries in Confluence, and I'm using a time series chart with them.

I updated some of the code, and now all of the charts are broken, with the error "'2012 May' could not be converted to date". There is one chart that is unbroken, but when I copy the exact code, that duplicate code then has a broken chart. It's quite confusing.

I've posted the code below, along with the exact error. It's supposed to count up new plans sold, and display in a graph by month. Please help!

Please note: "Event_date" is in format "2012-05-09 10:12:40"

Perhaps this was just you copying into the question, but don't split dateFormat across 2 lines.
