 * I try to create a chart but at step 2 when I search for wpDataTable Data Source
   I can find nothing even if I created two basic data tabels.
    How can I load them
   here?
 * Regards
    Ovidiu

 * Hello there.
 * If you don’t see the tables you’ve created in the drop-down, it can only indicate
   you created Simple tables, which cannot be used for chart creation at the moment.
 * When working with this table type please note:
    - These simple datatables are not saved in the database like manual tables, 
      but instead, their data is stored in database table wp_wpdatatables_rows. 
      So, pulling data from the database is a bit more complex because this database
      table stores data in JSON format, not like manual tables (columns * rows).
    - There is no front-end editing, sorting, search, filtering, or pagination in
      this table type.
    - Creating charts from this table type is not yet possible.
    - You can’t use foreign keys, placeholders or conditional formatting, but each
      cell can be formatted separately.
    - Setting border types and thickness is not included.
    -  Add-ons can’t be used with Simple data tables.
 * Kind regards.
