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

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';
                }
            }
        }
    }
});

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?

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');
      }
