Description
hvplot=0.8.1, holoviews=1.15.0
I'm trying to show that it is much easier to use the HoloViz ecosystem to develop something like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htXgwEXwmNs with crossfiltering.
One of the plots is a plotly `histogram`.
It works like
```python
import plotly.express as px
df = px.data.tips()
px.histogram(df, "day", height=400,)
```
But if I run
```python
import plotly.express as px
import hvplot.pandas
df = px.data.tips()
df.hvplot.hist("day", height=400)
```
I get
```bash
numpy.core._exceptions._UFuncNoLoopError: ufunc 'multiply' did not contain a loop with signature matching types (dtype(' None
```
This is not a useful error message and took me quite some time to figure out what was wrong. Pandas `.plot` handles this much nicer.
```python
import plotly.express as px
df = px.data.tips()
df.hist("day", height=400)
```
```bash
ValueError: hist method requires numerical or datetime columns, nothing to plot.
```
**Please provide a similar useful error message and document it in the reference guide and docstring. Or even better support categorical data.**
Thanks.
## Additional Context
The next issue is that I should then probably do my own aggregations and use HoloViews `bars` which does not support linked selections. Hmmmm. Its not easy.
