Need help to "Connect cell Means" in Variability Chart

Unable to "connect cell means" in variability chart even after I selected this option in the drop down menu. Is there anything I'm missing?

Re: Need help to "Connect cell Means" in Variability Chart

The "connect cell means" will draw lines between the means within each group. In your example there is only one set of values in each group therefore there is no line.

This simple example should illustrate (copy and paste into a script window, then run it): 

New Table( "Untitled",
	New Column( "value",
		Numeric,
		"Continuous",
		Format( "Best", 12 ),
		Set Values( [1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 2] )
	),
	New Column( "group1",
		Character,
		"Nominal",
		Set Values( {"a", "a", "b", "b", "a", "b"} )
	),
	New Column( "group2",
		Character,
		"Nominal",
		Set Values( {"c", "c", "c", "c", "d", "d"} )
	)
);
Variability Chart(
	Y( :value ),
	X( :group1, :group2 ),
	Connect Cell Means( 1 )
);

Re: Need help to "Connect cell Means" in Variability Chart

Thanks. It made sense! Is there other example you could recommend me to show the mean graph? I was thinking a boxplot
