Statistical Process Control Charts
Would you recommend using google charts or something else to implement SPC charts in my QB app? Can you please point me to information on how?

I would recommend Highcharts as that is what QuickBase already uses for its charts, so it's already bundled into the QuickBase code that renders the page and so you avoid additional overhead of having to load even more javascript for another chart library like Google Charts.
However, there are a couple things you should know if you do this:
However, there are a couple things you should know if you do this:
- QuickBase uses a very old version of Highcharts (3.0.2 compared to the current 5.0.14), so if you are looking at their Docs just be aware certain charts/functionality may not be available due to the version (usually it says the version # the feature was implemented in the docs).
- It will only load Highcharts on pages where it expects a chart already. So I would suggest creating a chart with the data that you want to create an SPC for, then taking that data from the chart and redrawing it the way you want to see it. See dandiebolt@gmail.com response for some starter code on how to do that.
