Cant get baseUnit: "month" to work, object error

[Neil]

Hi there, I got a kendo chart category axis described like this :

categoryAxis: {
            majorGridLines: "none",
            type: "date",
            field: "Day",
            baseUnit: "month",
            labels: {
                font: "6.25pt Verdana",
                rotation: -45,
                template: " #= new Date(parseInt(value.substr(6))).getDate() #" + "/" + "#= month[new Date(parseInt(value.substr(6))).getMonth()] #"
            },
            title: {
            }            
        }

I also got another Kendo chart with category axis liek this :

categoryAxis: {
            majorGridLines: "none",
            field: "Day",
            labels: {
                font: "6.25pt Verdana",
                rotation: -45,
                template: " #= new Date(parseInt(value.substr(6))).getDate() #" + "/" + "#= month[new Date(parseInt(value.substr(6))).getMonth()] #"
            },
            title: {
            }
        }


So in the second example everything works fine except I get a date for each point in the chart, so I wanted to make it show only every 1st of the month ( there are 6 months in total). So the first code snippet should do that but i get an error: "Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Date] has no method 'substr' ". I assume I should use some sort of ekndo.dateparse, but im not sure of the syntax of it. Could someone pelase help.
Note that the tooltip shows the date just fine.

Please find a screenshot attached,

Neil

Hello Neil,

I am not quite sure if I understand you correctly. Could you please provide more detailed information about the exact functionality you are trying to implement or better yet send a simple jsFiddle / jsBin example which demonstrates your current implementation? This way I would be able to advice you further and provide concrete recommendations. Thank you in advance for your time.
