                     temp3 = temp2[j].split(',');
                     longArray.push(temp3[0]);

                }
            }

            for (m = 0, len = longArray.length; m < len; m += 7) {

          <td style='width: 300px; font-size: 0.9em;'>
            <div id="control1"></div>
            <div id="control2"></div>
            <div id="control3"></div>
            <div id="categoryPick2"></div>
          </td>
          <td style='width: 600px'>
            <div style="float: left;" id="chart1"></div>
            <div style="float: left;" id="chart2"></div>
            <div style="float: right;" id="chart3"></div>
            <div style="float: right;" id="chart4"></div>
             <div style="float: right;" id="lineChart"></div>
              <div style="float: right;" id="table2"></div>
                     </td>
        </tr>
      </table>
      <input type="hidden"  id="id1" value=" ${listVal}" />
         <input type="hidden"  id="id2" value=" ${header1}" />
    </div>
   <div id="chart_div2" ></div>
  </body>

</html>

After executing this code I get table data clearly; but, it doesn’t show the chart properly (I have used combo chart and Line chart). It is throwing the following error:

"Data column(s) for axis #0 cannot be of type string"

Can someone please tell how to solve this issue.

Thanks.

when you alert listOfValues you will get these values :

2010,84,65,45,facebook,bad,12345-2011,64,75,85,facebook,bad,2345-

Basically these are two rows in database which i have separated by a hyphen. Please let me know if you need further details.
