Any suggestions will be helpful

    This answer will apply if you are using the Prototype JS framework. (I don’t see it here, but it might have been excluded).

    There is a ticket open for this issue on the Google Visualization API here.

    One potential issue is that there might be a conflicting version of prototype or some other library being included.

    Alternately, the reduce function may need to be redefined:

    <script type="text/javascript">
  Array.prototype.reduce = undefined;
</script>

    [Note: I had this issue in the past, and this led to the solution. I am experiencing this issue a second time, but the original solution is not working for this new issue. Your mileage may vary.]
