Hello.
We're trying several ways to get a data element value with a specific unit measure but we don't success. Moreover, the result is different if we get the result in datable or chart.
For instance, I've a field that is the difference in hours between two datetime's. I want to view the number with two decimals (like D2) followed by "h".
Following .Net instructions, if I add something between simple or double quotes, this displayed value should concatenate it. But it doesn't work. Examples. The calculated value is 335,6167:

Format D2: In chart I get 335,62 (OK). In datable I get 335,6167 (No OK).
Format D2 "h": In chart I get 335,6167 (No OK). In datable I get D2 h (h without quotes, like if it recognized the concatenation but not the number. No OK)

Format 0.00: In chart I get 335,6167(No OK). In datatable I get 335,62 (OK).
Format 0.00 "h": In chart I get 335,6167(No OK). In datable I get 335,62 h (OK).

So, the only way to see the result OK is woth a datable and format 0.00. There is no way to get correctly the number with the chart (same results with the three supported chart libraries).

Thanks in advance

Yes, custom format are limited for charts as the conversion tend to be automatic,
which is difficult from .Net format to go to the D3 format used by the charts.
this could be enhanced in a future release...


however it is easy to modify your chart template to have the format wanted,
e.g. for chart JS:
edit your chartJS view template and just modify the lines:

Line 89 for the ToolTip
Code:
                            else valStr = d3.format(",.2f")(val) + " \'Day\'";


Line 159 for the axis
Code:
                                        return d3.format(",.2f")(label) + " \'Day\'";



This correspond to the Custom .Net:
Code:
#,##0.00 "'Day'"


This is just a sample, you might change it if the axis is a date, etc.
