How to group columns and make links? - data-visualization

Im trying to make something like this
but cant get how to group columns by actor and make the link to exact movie.
Thats what I have now:
Some advices?

Yes, you are trying to make a diagram that is similar to a Sankey (but simplest as the ticks of the lines are always the same).
The best way for you is to read about Sankey in Tableau on these tutorial
Chart Templates Part 1: Sankeys
How to Make Sankey Diagram in Tableau
then look at these examples on Tableau Public and finally, try to make a simplified version of the Sankey as you require.

Is there a way to group up multiple fields in Tableau to use as on data piece?

I am trying to learn all about Data Visualization and Tableau, so I was wondering if one can combine multiple fields into one, and how to do that?
Thanks
Yes, Tableau is quite versatile. There are many ways to combine multiple fields, for many meanings of the word "combine". If you just want to add some numeric fields together to make a new variable, or string some text fields together to make a larger text field, you can do that by defining a "computed field".
These videos are free and you can watch them to get an idea of what can be done.
Here's a 23 minute overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6py0jyZc7K4
I see the short intro video on Tableau's site isn't working right now.
Here's another walk-through of what's possible

How to use Alignment API to generate a Alignment Format file?

I am going to attend the Instance Matching of OAEI, now I need to make my results to Alignment Format. In order to achieve it, I have learned official tutorials.(link:http://alignapi.gforge.inria.fr/tutorial/tutorial1/index.html).
But there are many differences between the method taught and the method I want. In other words, I can't understand the API.
This is my situation:
I have 2 rdf file(person11.rdf and person12.rdf respectively.data link is http://oaei.ontologymatching.org/2010/im/index.html, the PR dataset), each file has information of many person. I want to find the coreferent entities, the results must be printed in Alignment Format. I find the results by using SPARQL, but I don't know how to print it in Alignment Format.
So, I have three questions:
First, if I want to generate a Alignment Format file, is the method taught the only way?
Second, can you give me your method(code better) to generate the Alignment Format file? Maybe I am wrong from the beginning, can you give me some suggestions?
Third, if you attended OAEI or know something about Instance Matching, can you give me some advice? I want to find the coreferent entities.
Thank you!
First question: I guess that the "mentioned method" is the one in tutorial1. It is not the appropriate one since you have to write a program to output the alignment format and this is a command line interface tutorial. In this case, you'd better look at http://alignapi.gforge.inria.fr/tutorial/tutorial2/index.html
Then, there are basically two ways to do:
The advised one (for several reasons and for participating to OAEI) is to follow these tutorials, to create an empty alignment in it, to create the correspondences from the results of your SPARQL query and to render it. Everything is covered by the tutorials but the part concerning your SPARQL queries. This assumes that you are programming in Java.
The non-advised solution (primarily non advised because you will have to debug your own renderer), is to write, in any programming language that you want a program that output the format (which corresponds to what you cite).
Think about it: how would you expect that the Alignment API knows the results of your SPARQL query? If you come up with a nice solution, contact the API developers, they may integrate it and others could benefit.
Second question: I cannot do better than what is above.
Third question: too general. Read the OAEI results (http://oaei.ontologymatching.org) and look at the code of others.
Good luck!

Using a DelegatingStyledCellLabelProvider with an ITableLabelProvider

I am trying to style specific cells in my table that have a specific attribute. I have used a DelegatingStyledCellLabelProvider in the past for a Tree structure, and was hoping to do the same here.
However, I can't figure out how to get it working with my ITableLabelProvider.
I saw questions like this one that suggested using IColumnLabelProviders instead of the ITableLabelProvider, but I really don't want to go back and change my code.
Is there anything I can do?
DelegatingStyledCellLabelProvider will not work with the old style ITableLabelProvider as it does not support multiple columns. You must use separate column label providers.

Quick way to prototype web graphs derived from SQL database

I have statistics for a project stored in a MySQL database and looking for a quick way to prototype a webpage which graphs various relationships in the data, using bar graph, line graph, pie chart, etc. I found something called "Dashing", but seems to use something called "coffeescript" which I'd rather not learn in my short time frame (~1 week).
Does anyone know of any good packages/frameworks that can help out with the job? If I could do it using only C/C++/obj-C it would be ideal, though Java is possible as well.
I decided on using PHP/Apache/MySQL and the Jpgraph PHP graphing framework.

MS Access: Add data to Chart programatically from Visual Basic

I'm looking someone who can help me with this issue, that seems very easy to achieve but there is no much information around the internet.
I'm working with MS Access and Visual Basic, and I would like to create a simple bar graph, giving params that I've already gathered from many querys.
In this case: A chart about Litres per Week. I have a query to gather the amount of litres of 4 different weeks. I also provide the information for the X Axis (Last week, Last two weeks, and so on.. ). It would look like this:
So I'm wondering if this can be done, as well a pie charts and line charts.
I'm aware that this can be easilly done with Excel, but I don't want open another program to read information.
Thank you very much.
How to make Charts in MS Access would be my first key word search :)
Then I will check on MSDN for proper tools/properties availability/updates on software and so on.
Here is a simple basic tutorial to follow
This is the entire google search that would provide you anything you want to check on the topic.
Please note the version of MS Access you are using against the tutorials described. In certain versions there are certain changes have been done to the software itself. You are much lucky if it's not 2007...
EDIT Based on the comments with OP:
Since OP has exhaustive/heavy queries, it's recommended to create a temp table based on the final query.
Then temp table can act as a view and become the data source for the Chart
dynamic binding of chart from database in VS2010 in C#
Bind query as a datasource to MS Access chart. There is a method called databindtable which is a chart property. You may use it:
e.g. chart1.DataBindTable(yoursource,columname)
This article provies a good sample code.
