This might sound overly simplistic but did you consider using the read from spreadsheet (STRING) polymorphic instance?

Use the Fract/Exp String To Number function to convert your table data into numbers.  You can then wire the resulting array into your graph.

No, your text file contains text  that text might be "1.000" but that is a string of characters.  A number is a different thing entirely and programmong languages know to treat "1.000" differently than the number 1.  so you need to use the conversion function to create numbers out of text consisting of charaters that represent digits.

You wouldn't need another conversion if you didn't want to display the file contents in a 2D string array. Instead of a table, you could use a 2D numeric array.
