Hi, I am trying to reuse this code for a project I'm working on. I'm struggling to parse values from my own tsv file into this as a dataset?

Would you be be able to give me any help with this?

It seems that title is showing only after choosing data files (calling heatmapChart function).
I think you need to move your cards.append("title"); call after cards.enter().append("rect").
Heatmap is great by the way.

Great gist! Your times array seems to have 12p / 12a flipped though. Shouldn't it be:

times = ["1a", "2a", "3a", "4a", "5a", "6a", "7a", "8a", "9a", "10a", "11a", "12p", "1p", "2p", "3p", "4p", "5p", "6p", "7p", "8p", "9p", "10p", "11p", "12a"];
