Hi, I am testing dropdown menus using this link ([https://plot.ly/javascript/dropdowns/](https://plot.ly/javascript/dropdowns/)) as an example. However, I am not able to see the y-axis data on the chart. Surprisingly, when I view it in the cloud (clicking on “Edit in chart studio” button), it shows up there. No matter which option I choose from the dropdown menus. ```

Your `y` array looks like: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex024/uploads/plot/original/2X/9/9bd38d78120dec1ff2ba2e66810d44438f272497.png) which isn’t valid. All data arrays in `scatter` traces must be 1D in plotly.js. * * * We allow a few more special configurations on plot.ly for backward compatibility that we took out of plotly.js. That’s why your graph _shows up_ on plot.ly and not in your app. ---

Thanks for the quick reply. It was my mistake to assign the value as an array, don’t know what was I thinking. I have fixed it now. ``` allReadsPerSec[0][0]=20; allReadsPerSec[1][0]=40; allReadsPerSec[2][0]=90; allReadsPerSec[0][1]=30; allReadsPerSec[1][1]=10; allReadsPerSec[2][1]=40; allReadsPerSec[0][2]=30; allReadsPerSec[1][2]=20; allReadsPerSec[2][2]=70; allReadsPerSec[0][3]=130; allReadsPerSec[1][3]=10; allReadsPerSec[2][3]=70; allReadsPerSec[0][4]=30; allReadsPerSec[1][4]=10; allReadsPerSec[2][4]=40; ```
