hi christo, i had included a jsfiddle, if this is not a correct way, please make clear what you'd expect of a sample.

the fiddle contains two charts with small values the top 1 does not render correctly, the second one does.

hope this clarifies the problem

Hello Dennis,

I think that your jsFiddle isn't the correct one. Could you please give me your test page and I will be able to help you.

Hi Christo, I'm terribly sorry about including the wrong fiddle

http://jsfiddle.net/eEeau/


for completeness here is the jscript:
/////////////////
var sharedDataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
    data: [
        { id: 1, value: 1.0e-16, item: "Item1" },
        { id: 2, value: 1.0e-16, item: "Item2" },
        { id: 3, value: 11.0e-16, item: "Item3" },
        { id: 4, value: 81.0e-16, item: "Item4" },
        { id: 5, value: 1.0e-16, item: "Item5" },
        { id: 6, value: 111.0e-16, item: "Item6" }      
    ],
    schema: {
        model: {
            id: "id",
            fields: {
                id: { type: "number", editable: false },
                value: { type: "number" },
                item: { type: "string" }               
            }
        }           
    }
});
   
 $("#chart").kendoChart({
    dataSource: sharedDataSource,
    autoBind: false,
    categoryAxis: {
        field: "item"  
    },
    series: [
        { field: "value", name: "Value" }
    ]       
});sharedDataSource.read();
var sharedDataSource2 = new kendo.data.DataSource({
    data: [
        { id: 1, value: 1.0e-6, item: "Item1" },
        { id: 2, value: 1.0e-6, item: "Item2" },
        { id: 3, value: 11.0e-6, item: "Item3" },
        { id: 4, value: 81.0e-6, item: "Item4" },
        { id: 5, value: 1.0e-6, item: "Item5" },
        { id: 6, value: 111.0e-6, item: "Item6" }      
    ],
    schema: {
        model: {
            id: "id",
            fields: {
                id: { type: "number", editable: false },
                value: { type: "number" },
                item: { type: "string" }               
            }
        }           
    }
});
   
 $("#chart2").kendoChart({
    dataSource: sharedDataSource2,
    autoBind: false,
    categoryAxis: {
        field: "item"  
    },
    series: [
        { field: "value", name: "Value" }
    ]       
});sharedDataSource2.read();
 

Hi Dennis,

The problem here is that we have a restriction for the chart values(the values must be with no more then 6 digits after comma separator). This issue haven't easy fix.

I would suggest to submit your request in Kendo's UserVoice so other members of the community can evaluate, comment on and vote for it.

As a possible workaround you can use values without floating point and in the labels template you can add the precision that you want: http://jsfiddle.net/eEeau/2/

Apologies for the caused inconvenience.
