Display a different value in series formatFunction

[swarrenParticipant]

I’m working on a line graph with multiple series for a client and they want to display a percentage on the graph but when you hover over the point in the graph have the tool tip display the numbers that resulted in that calculated percentage. I can’t figure out a way to pass this to the formatFunction for the series and I’m guessing it’s not possible but I thought I would ask.

Hello swarren,

This should be achievable through formatFunction or toolTipFormatFunction, depending on which is the original data – the percentage values or the other ones. In any case, if you need assistance on this matter, please provide us with some sample data and your chart JavaScript code (preferably in a fiddle example).

Dimitar,
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. For anybody else looking for the answer to this problem, I added another datafield with a ‘-data’ but the same start as the percentage value and but didn’t add it as a series. Then I used the following in the series:

toolTipFormatFunction: function(value, itemIndex, series, group, categoryValue, categoryAxis){
    var returnVal = series.dataField + ', ';
    returnVal += ' - ' + data[itemIndex][series.dataField + '-data'];
    return returnVal;
}
