Each of the charts requires the table to be in a specific format so it can be visualized. For the time plot, that format is described here:

https://docs.flexsim.com/en/23.1/Reference/Dashboard/Charts/TimePlot/TimePlot.html

At first glance, it looks like you have a "wide" table, where each row has a time value and one data value per column. In contrast, the timeplot in FlexSim requires a "tall" table, where there is a column for the time values, a column for the y values, and a column for the "category" value, such as the name of a statistic.

Current data layout:

Time	Stat1	Stat2	Stat3
Time1	Value1	Value2	Value3
Time2	Value4	Value5	Value6

Data layout for the time plot:

Time	Stat	Value
Time1	Stat1	Value1
Time1	Stat2	Value2
Time1	Stat3	Value3
Time2	Stat1	Value4
Time2	Stat2	Value5
Time2	Stat3	Value6

To create a table in the second format, you have a couple options in general. I don't know if they will work as written here without a model, but they are starting points:

In a Calculated Table, if using the Query Builder, set the metric layout for all metrics to "Use the shared name/value columns for this metric".
You could make a Statistics Collector that listens to the same event multiple times. Each copy of the event could calculate a different statistic value in the data labels.

Hopefully that gives you some guidance.
