Hello,

I am trying to determine the best way to implement the ability to create reports (charts, graphs, etc) from a set of data that I have related to employee performance. There seem to be a plethora of modules which allow you to view site statistics however, I have been unable to find any modules that will enable me to create a graph from arbitrary data that I import.

I also am trying to determine the best way to store the data I have. As a node? Directly in the database?

Does anyone have any ideas about this?

Thanks
~Brian

I saw a couple modules a while back that will make charts. Not sure if they fit what you're looking for. Seems like if you were able to use the charts module and data module together it might work pretty well, unfortunately that's not a drupal 7 solution. On the off chance it helps, here's the list I came up with.

Charting:
Views Charts: http://drupal.org/project/views_charts
Charts: http://drupal.org/project/charts (sounds like 7.x doesn't necessarily work, but there is a recent patch here - http://drupal.org/node/1079510#comment-5209628)
Google Charts API: http://drupal.org/project/chart

For storing data:
Data: (no 7.x version) http://drupal.org/project/data
Datastore is still in development and I'm not sure how it'll be used, but I'll list it and hope it helps. http://drupal.org/project/datastore
