Why i only get one value after executing "for loop" to display "datasets.data" in ChartJS

Question

I have successfully displayed the value, but why is only one value displayed? I want the value in sequence

This my code

/*my datasets code*/
datasets: [{
  label: 'Daily Data',
  data: [730000, 1012000, 1220000, 1831000, 560000, 2012000, 890000],
  borderColor: '#3f89fb',
  borderWidth: 3,
  fill: false
}]

/*my tooltips code*/
tooltips: {
  callbacks: {
    label: function(tooltipItem, chart) {
      for (var i = 0; i < chart.datasets[0].data.length; i++) {
        return chart.datasets[0].data[i] / 1e6 + 'M';
      }
    }
  }
}

and this my result, all day value is 0.73M

Look in the Tooltip Item Documentation.

In your case tooltipItem.index contains the index of this data item in the dataset. So you can return the value doing so:

function(tooltipItem, chart) {
    return chart.datasets[0].data[tooltipItem.index] / 1e6 + 'M';
}

And here is the demo:

var ctx = document.getElementById("myChart").getContext('2d');
var myChart = new Chart(ctx, {
    type: 'line',
    data: {
        labels: ["Red", "Blue", "Yellow", "Green", "Purple", "Orange"],
        datasets: [{
            label: 'Daily Data',
            data: [730000, 1012000, 1220000, 1831000, 560000, 2012000, 890000],
            borderColor: '#3f89fb',
            borderWidth: 3,
            fill: false
        }]
    },
    options: {
        scales: {
            yAxes: [{
                ticks: {
                    beginAtZero:true
                }
            }]
        },
        tooltips: {
            callbacks: {
                label: function(tooltipItem, chart) {
                    return chart.datasets[0].data[tooltipItem.index] / 1e6 + 'M';
                }
            }
        }
    }
});

Instead of return inside for loop which will exit the loop, you can save your results somewhere like below

var result = []
for (var i = 0; i < chart.datasets[0].data.length; i++) {
        result.push(chart.datasets[0].data[i] / 1e6 + 'M');
      }

This is because return stops execution and exits the function. return always exits its function immediately, with no further execution if it's inside a loop.

See this answer: Does return stop a loop?
