Numeric legend values

[BilllParticipant]

I have a case where I want to show a bar chart with a single stacked bar. The bar chart is nothing fancy but it shows version numbers of a product. e.g. 1.5, 2.0, etc.. In the chart I want to show how many installations are using each version. Something like this data:

var sampleData = [{ 1.5:30, 2.0:15, 2.5: 25 }];

I can’t seem to get the legend labels to show if the field is numeric. The dataFields match the version numbers above and the bar segments display properly. If I were to add a letter to one of the versions (e.g. 1.5V or V1.5) then that legend label would show. displayText only works for non-numerics. Tooltips work find and show the bar series segment regardless of whether the legend shows the value or not.

Is there an easy workaround for this, other than adding some text to the label?

That worked. Thank you Stanislav!

For my case I just returned the following from the legendFormatFunction:

return value;

This fixed it for versions in short format like 1.2 and longer ones like 1.2.3.4
