3rd value on bar chart

[Philip Senechal]

Hello,

Is it possible to include a 3rd value for a bar chart to provide a different value on click through?

Here is my scenario...I'm passing in Employee Name (category) and Number of Requests (value) as my data points for a bar chart. I've setup a click through on the chart, but I'd like to pass the Employee ID instead of the Employee Name. I'm bringing in the Employee ID into my model and creating a local data source. Is there anything I can assign the Employee ID value to so that I can use it with the click through?

Thanks!

Hi Philip,

You could pass the EmployeeID on the onSeriesClick function using the dataItem.
For example:

function onSeriesClick(e) {
 alert("Employee ID is: " + e.dataItem.EmployeeID);
 }

For more convenience I created a sample project and attached it.


Kind regards,

Thanks Iliana...that worked perfectly.

I'll keep that dataItem option in mind as it could very well come in handy for other things on the Chart.
