✅

You can use the following tooltip­‘s label callback function, for showing different tooltip labels when hovered on different graphs :

tooltips: {
   callbacks: {
      label: function(t, d) {
         var xLabel = d.datasets[t.datasetIndex].label;
         var yLabel = t.yLabel;
         // if line chart
         if (t.datasetIndex === 0) return xLabel + ': ' + yLabel + ' unit(s)';
         // if bar chart
         else if (t.datasetIndex === 1) return xLabel + ': $' + yLabel.toFixed(2);
      }
   }
}

also, your first dataset should be for line chart, followed by bar , like so :

datasets: [{
   type: "line",
   label: 'Quantity Sold ',
   data: quantityData
}, {
   label: 'Total Profit ',
   data: amountData
}]

         label: 'Quantity Sold',
         data: [40, 50, 60, 70, 80],
         borderColor: 'orange',
         fill: false
      }, {
         label: 'Total Profit',
         data: [1399.3, 356.62, 1249, 465.23, 1480.4],
         backgroundColor: 'rgba(0, 119, 220, 0.4)',
      }]
   },
   options: {
      scales: {
         yAxes: [{
            ticks: {
               beginAtZero: true
            }
         }]
      },
      tooltips: {
         callbacks: {
            label: function(t, d) {
               var xLabel = d.datasets[t.datasetIndex].label;
               var yLabel = t.yLabel;
               // if line chart
               if (t.datasetIndex === 0) return xLabel + ': ' + yLabel + ' unit(s)';
               // if bar chart
               else if (t.datasetIndex === 1) return xLabel + ': $' + yLabel.toFixed(2);
            }
         }
      }
   }
});
