[Solved] Stacked Column Legend in Tooltip

[Gene]

Is is possible to include the Legend description in the tooltip for a stacked column graph?

That is, I would like the tooltip for a segment of a stacked column to show both the segment legend identifier along with the segment value.

Thank you!

Hello Gene,

You could customize the text in the tooltip via its properties. For your scenario you need the series variable in the template. For example:  

$("#chart").kendoChart({
 //....
 tooltip: {
    visible: true,
    template: "#= series.name # , value: #= value # %"
 }
});

For convenience, I prepared a small jsFiddle example which illustrates such approach in action.

More detailed information about the Kendo UI Chart is available in our online documentation.

Thank you Iliana!

Although this question was in relation to the Telerk MVC Chart control, not Kendo., I was able to use the "series.name" reference in my tooltip template and that resolved the issue.

Thanks again!
