You really need to pay better attention somewhere.  There are six
variables in your example table for instance, not four.  You state you
want to do something with the serialno variable, but it is not used 
in your bit of code.  Also, given that serialno appears to be
unique in your example, a bar graph would be singularly uninformative.

You need to provide a better example of the data, and an actual example
of the code you are trying to use, including the libraries you've
loaded.
