How to format tooltip?

[gerinjacob]

Hi,

I have a field which is numeric that represents number of days from 1970. I need this value to plot graph.

However, in the tooltip, I want to show this as date (dd/MM/yyyy). Since the field is numeric, the format types are only - Number, Currency, Percent.

Is there a way to customize the tooltip?

Thanks,
Gerin Jacob

Thanks for the link. But the example is for showing additional information in tooltip by modifying the label. The value as such remains unchanged.

I am looking to change the format of the value (number of days to date) which is already shown in the tooltip.
