I’ve the below table of data:
```bash
2×7 DataFrame
│ Row │ Customer │ M0 │ M1 │ M2 │ M3 │ ... │ Mn │
│ │ String │ Int64 │ Int64 │ Int64 │ Int64 │ Int64 │ Int64 │
├─────┼──────────┼─────────┼──────────┼───────┼───────┼───────┼───────┤
│ 1 │ x │ 8 │ 7 │ 9 │ 2 │ . │ 3 │
│ 2 │ y │ 6 │ 3 │ 4 │ 2 │ . │ 7 │
```
That is generted from the below:
```julia
using CSV, Query, DataFrames
df = CSV.read("deliveries.csv"; header=true, delim=',')
deliveries = by(
sdf -> mapcols(sum, sdf[:, 3:end]),
df,
:Customer
)
println(deliveries)
```
I’m trying to use `using Gadfly` any other option is ok for me, to draw the chart, so that each row (customer) is a series, so I’ll be having a multiple time serials lines.

There’s this example in the Gadfly docs:

Thanks,
It worked with me as:
```julia
using Gadfly
data = stack(deliveries, [:M0, :M1, :M2, :M3, .... :Mn])
plot(data, x=:Customer, y=:value, color=:variable, Geom.line)
```
Is there a way to avoid writting this long line:
```julia
data = stack(deliveries, [:M0, :M1, :M2, :M3, .... :Mn])
```

```julia
using DataFrames
?stack
```
Note the help string contains both `stack` and `melt`. Also see the [DataFrames docs](http://juliadata.github.io/DataFrames.jl/stable/man/reshaping_and_pivoting/#Reshaping-and-Pivoting-Data-1)

Thanks, I got it as:
```julia
data = stack(deliveries, 2:60)
```
Any idea why I could not get it as:
```julia
data = stack(deliveries, 2:end)
```

```julia
?end
```
I think `end` only works when used inside brackets.
Did you try:
```julia
melt(deliveries, 1)
```
