27 Mar 2014 For a more complete example of using selectHandler, see this page: https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/basic_interactivity

My example below get the labels from the row and the columns. I used this to send the user to another link and drill-down.

function selectHandler() {
var selection = chart.getSelection();
var item = selection[0];

if (item.row != null && item.column != null) {
var rowLabel = parseInt(data.getValue(item.row, 0));
var columnLabel = data.getColumnLabel(item.column);
}
}
google.visualization.events.addListener(chart, 'select', selectHandler);
