categoryAxis formatFunction

[RCWParticipant]

I’m trying to format the text displayed in the categoryAxis but I’m getting the default datField displayed.

I have a csv file with a datafield “year” holding 25 years (2010, 2011, 2012…etc.) and series data for those years.

I want the categoryAxis to show 2010, 11, 12, 13, 14, 2015, 16, 17… etc so skipping the full year text every 5 years.

If I have this as my years array and create this function:

dataField: 'Year',
                        formatFunction: function (value) {
                           var years = ['2010', '11', '12', '13', '14', '2015', etc ...];
                           return years[value];
                           },
                        type: 'date', // also tried default
                        baseUnit: 'year'

I don’t get anything back from the function.

Any ideas ?

Thanks

Hello RCW,

Your function should be as follows:

formatFunction: function (value) {
    var years = ['2010', '11', '12', '13', '14', '2015'];
    return years[years.indexOf(value)];
}

Hi Dimitar,

This still gives me back the text from the data file rather than from the variable”years” on my categoryAxis

Do I need type: and baseUnit: set a particular way or is there something else I need to be doing ?

Thanks

Hi RCW,

Please provide us with your whole chart initialization code so that we may determine what causes the issue.
