Box Plot Chart tooltip show as currency

[Josh]

For some reason the default tooltip for the box plot chart formats the lower, q1, mean, median, q3, and upper fields as currency. I am not dealing with currency, how can I change the format of the data in the tooltip.

To view what I am talking about go to the demo page of the Box Plot Chart here: https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/box-plot-charts/index

Notice that the chart is showing statistical information about temperature, but if you mouse over a box the tooltip formats the details as currency.

Hi Josh,

This is intended behavior in the BoxPlot Chart, its default tooltip formatting looks like this:

tooltip: {
    format: "<table>" +
                "<tr><th colspan='2'>{6:d}</th></tr>" +
                "<tr><td>Lower:</td><td>{0:C}</td></tr>" +
                "<tr><td>Q1:</td><td>{1:C}</td></tr>" +
                "<tr><td>Median:</td><td>{2:C}</td></tr>" +
                "<tr><td>Mean:</td><td>{5:C}</td></tr>" +
                "<tr><td>Q3:</td><td>{3:C}</td></tr>" +
                "<tr><td>Upper:</td><td>{4:C}</td></tr>" +
            "</table>"
}

If you want to display values with numeric (non-currency) formatting, you can copy the same format and only replace C with N:

format: "<table>" +
"<tr><th colspan='2'>{6:d}</th></tr>" +
"<tr><td>Lower:</td><td>{0:N}</td></tr>" +
"<tr><td>Q1:</td><td>{1:N}</td></tr>" +
"<tr><td>Median:</td><td>{2:N}</td></tr>" +
"<tr><td>Mean:</td><td>{5:N}</td></tr>" +
"<tr><td>Q3:</td><td>{3:N}</td></tr>" +
"<tr><td>Upper:</td><td>{4:N}</td></tr>" +
"</table>"

Here is a Dojo, where you can see the result:

Thank you for the reply.

My work around was to create a custom template for the tooltips on my chart.  

On your demo page, it shows that the monthly average temperature for January is 49 dollars. That is just plain wrong.

It might be helpful to put your solution on the demo page so that the example is valid, and so that users of Kendo UI will know how to change the format/template.

Hello Josh,

We have an item logged internally to fix the discrepancy in the demos but it has not been addressed as of the latest version. I did notify the development team about the issue being brought up again.

Two and a half years seems a rather long time for this issue to be outstanding.

[Josh]

Agreed, seems like a trivial fix.

Hello,

Please accept my apologies for the incorrect information.

The demo will be modified to showcase the usage of the tooltip format with the next update.
