bar/column/line chart displays value on a wrong place

[Andras]

Hello,

Based on your sample (http://jsbin.com/oxuvom/3/edit) I tried what happens if I have 2 rows of data and one of them has a missing value. In this case the values next to the missing one are shifted to a wrong place: http://jsbin.com/oxuvom/29/edit

Please let me know if I missed something.

Thanks,
Andras

Hi Andras,

The observed behavior is expected and is due to the following: 

• By design the labels for the categoryAxis in grouped chart are created depending on the first group;
• The categorical charts (such as Bar, Column, Area, Line) demand a matching set of data points. Please note that the value can be null, but the record needs to be presented at the data (this is due to the fact that series.data is a simple array). 

Hence in order to get all the values on the right places you should include in the data a value for the Jan 2012. For your convenience I updated the page.

Ok, thanks!

Please have a look at this sample: http://jsbin.com/oxuvom/39/edit or the attached one. 
This looks good in IE(9), Safari(5.1.7), Firefox(16.0.2), but not in Chrome (23.0.1271.64 m)
The value (Percentage) of 10/3 is shown at 10/5 in Chrome. Everywhere else it looks good. The same issue when using bar or column instead of line. The strange thing is that it happens if I have at least 4 line/bar/column. With 3 it's ok in Chrome too.

Thanks,
Andras

Hello Andras,

In order to get the expected order you could sort the dataSource and configure the needed direction: 

$("#chart").kendoChart({
  //....
  dataSource: {
      data: costHistory,
      group: {
         field: "Name",
         dir: "asc"
      },
      sort: {
         field: "Percentage",
         dir: "desc"
      }
  }
//....
});

For your convenience I updated the jsBin example.

On a side note, I recommend using the latest version of Kendo UI as it contains many bug fixes and improvements.

Sort solved my problem.
