I want to create a histogram based on this tutorial by Google.

https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/histogram#events

I think the dinosaur data is sourcing it from elsewhere. I would like to use my own data set.

Advice?

You can easily check most of the examples as they're usually in their own frames. Right click somewhere just outside of the graph and choose to view the frame source, copy it to Notepad or other plain text editor, remove the information in the <head> section, and save it to a new html file.

You can then change the data in the file and add whatever else you need on the page.

There appears to be a limit count of 50 entries. Beyond that, my screen goes white.

Hi Yves,

I think I know what's wrong. In the data you sent me, in the line ['Akerman Hall' 106.7], there's a comma missing, change it to ['Akerman Hall', 106.7], and it should all work.
