FollowUp: Grouped RangeBar with From/To Dates

[Ted]

How can I use date ranges for the 'from' and 'to' values in this example? - example

The example works when using integers, but when I use dates nothing shows up in the chart.

Thank you,
Ted

Hello Ted,

The provided example is not working with dates because the value axis does not support date values. The Kendo UI RangeBar Chart can be used only with numbers.

I can suggest checking our example on how to take the numeric value from the date object and use it in the RangeBar Chart: 

http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/controls/charts/how-to/timeline-using-range-bars

Also, I can suggest submitting a feature request in our UserVoice portal and based on its popularity we may implement it in a future request.

Let me know if you need additional information on this matter.

Hello Stefan,

I have submitted a request as you suggested.

I am also very pleased to have integrated 'using the numeric value from the date object' into my RangeBar Chart. Here is the new example: example

Can you please tell me if I have any other options regarding the 'majorUnit' property, or is milliseconds the only unit of measure for this example? For example, is there a way to use the number of days as the majorUnit?

Thank you so much for your help!

Regards,

Ted

...oops... the link above doesn't work...I'll try to provide the proper link to the example: example

If it doesn't work, it is http://dojo.telerik.com/OseMo/7

Hello Ted,

I'm glad to hear that you managed to implement the Kendo UI Chart value axis to work with Date objects.

Regarding the majorUnit configuration of the Chart, it is expecting a number value which is only interpreted in milliseconds when using Dates:

Let me know if you need additional information for the Kendo UI Chart API.
