Hi guys

de array's in chart 1, 2 and 3 arre the same but once trought a msg it's not working.
see de flow below. I cannot get the payload back to an array for the 3d chart.
the format of de payload is the same as the array's from chart 1 and 2.
In the flow below you can test it

Your third function node, takes in a string "80, 81, 56, 55, 40"

var test = msg.payload
var m={};
m.labels = [10,20,30,40,50,60,70];
m.series = ['Series A', 'Series B', 'Series C', 'Series D'];
m.data = [
 test,
 
 ];
return {payload:[m]};

This ends up with the following NRarraystring

Which hopefully you can see is not the same as the data from chart1 (also in image).

What you will need to do is convert the string to an array before feeding it to your chart.
You can't do that by just sticking it between square brackets.

You can do this by changing the first line of your third function to:
var test = JSON.parse("[" + msg.payload + "]");
