(Sorry, this wasn't exactly "quick" help) I'm assuming the reason is that you are only applying formatting to the column and not actually doing anything to the value of that column. When Quick Chart gets the data from the list item, the actual value is null.
Don't suppose you ever found an actual answer to this? I'm trying to figure out a similar problem.
