Figured it, the following is a line graph, but the concept is the same as a bar graph.
$("#approvalschart").kendoChart({
title: {
text: "Place Requests / Approvals by Date"
},
legend: {
visible: true,
position: "bottom"
},
valueAxis: {
labels: {
format: "N0"
},
line: {
visible: false
}
},
categoryAxis: {
labels: {
rotation: -90,
template: "#= formatApprovalDate(value) #"
}
},
tooltip: {
visible: true,
template: "#= series.name #: #= value #"
},
seriesDefaults: {
type: "line",
style: "smooth"
},
series: [
{
field: "Value",
categoryField: "Date",
name: chartData.SeriesOne.SeriesName,
data: chartData.SeriesOne.Items
},
{
field: "Value",
categoryField: "Date",
name: chartData.SeriesTwo.SeriesName,
data: chartData.SeriesTwo.Items
}]
});
