Vega-lite pie chart not working in Airtable

[Dan_Ruan]

Hi!

I’m trying to create a simple pie chart with Vega-lite in Airtable. I got it worked in the Vega-lite editor but the pie chart is not showing up in Airtable with the same configuration. See screenshots below. What did I do wrong in Airtable? Thanks!

You assumed the data node was required. This is not the case in Airtable’s Vega-Lite app - it assumes the data comes from configured declarations. Create a simple pie chart in Airtable using the Vega-Lite app and then look at the declaration code it generates.
