yes is possible load data from a different source, like a database sqlite the database used by Ubuntu touch (Ubports)
For an example about chart + data loaded from sqlite database look at this:
https://mimecar.gitbook.io/qt-course/en/chapter-05-advanced/chapter-05-s01
("Database access with QML" and "QML and Charts" chapters)
The sample App associated with "QML and Charts" chapter can be found here:
https://github.com/mimecar/ubuntu-touch-programming-course-src
(is the project named: WeatherRecorderChart)
NOTE: that project are made with old Ubuntu sdk - ide But should work also with clickable (just 'clickable desktop' in the folder with the .pro file)
In case of does not work with clickable, the source code of the sample App is valid you can use it.

the two file you are interested are:
'ChartUtils.js' is the file containing the query to load data from sqlite database and prepare the data-set for the chart
'ChartPage.qml' is the qml page where the chart is drawn

To load data from a Libre Office sheet...sorry but i don't know how to do (maybe someone here have an idea, solution).

Tnx

I'm right now mainly interested in the ChartJs template, to generate a chart starting from data. If I wanted to generate a chart from X and Y data produced by different sources, how could I proceed? I mean, can I use a different data file source as for instance a LibreOffice sheet or just a plain text file which is randomly populated, instead than the ChartDataSource.js, where the data are static?
Any hint would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Matteo

you must use the FULL path to the cookiecutter.json file of the template that you want use.
I have updated the Readme file on github (see "Example" section)
Tnx

I can now proceed.

Best regards,

Matteo

Unfortunately, as all the new things though, it doesn't work for me at the first attempt.
It is worth to mention I have installed clickable and cookiecutter and I'm following your tutorial. This is the output I got, I'm not even able to get to the point where cookiecutter asks me for the name of the app:
