I previously had a Datatable and a Graph seperate but since they shared the same stock data I’m trying to combine the two.

When I try and return both a datatable and a graph it comes up blank. If i just return the Graph it appears and just the Datatable once again empty.

Here is some summary code.

app.layout = html.Div([  
**_other stuff_**  
html.Div(id=‘comps-analysis’),  
], className=“container”)

@app.callback(  
dash.dependencies.Output(‘comps-analysis’,‘children’),  
[dash.dependencies.Input(‘stock-ticker-input’, ‘value’),  
dash.dependencies.Input(‘events-select’, ‘values’),  
dash.dependencies.Input(‘index-input’, ‘values’),  
dash.dependencies.Input(‘index-input’, ‘options’),  
])  
def update\_graph(tickers, events, index\_values, index\_options):  
comps\_df = pd.DataFrame(comps)  
**generates the graph and dataframe**  
return html.Div([  
dcc.Graph(  
id=‘comps\_graph’,  
figure={  
‘data’: charts,  
‘layout’: {  
‘margin’: {‘b’: 0, ‘r’: 10, ‘l’: 60, ‘t’: 0},  
‘legend’: {‘x’: 0}  
}  
}  
),  
dte.DataTable(  
rows=comps\_df.to\_dict(‘records’),  
columns=[‘Type’, ‘Company’, ‘High’, ‘Low’, ‘Performance’],  
row\_selectable=True,  
sortable=True,  
selected\_row\_indices=[],  
id=‘comps-table’  
),  
])

Everything works when i keep it seperate but that involves downloading the same data twice.
