I forgot to put what I wanted for output.  With the results above as a 
sample, I want:

sales_dates = [2009-04-13, 2009-04-14]

Then...

Michael, [4, 1]
John, [2, 9]
Jane, [10, 0]
David, [0, 7]
Albert, [0, 2]

or whatever it would take for me to iterate over an array/hash of 
sales_reps and call something like the following:

for rep in sales_reps
  sales_graph.add( :series, rep, [a, b] )
end

so that I would end up with:
  sales_graph.add( :series, "Michael", [4, 1] )
  sales_graph.add( :series, "John", [2, 9] )
  sales_graph.add( :series, "Jane", [10, 0] )
  sales_graph.add( :series, "David", [0, 7] )
  sales_graph.add( :series, "Albert", [0, 2] )

I hope this helps.  Again, any advice is greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Michael
