I am using Pie Chart of Highcharts and I want to download the generated .xls file with custom columns names. By default the columns are name 'Category' and 'You series name' (in my case it's 'Percentage (%)'. Mainly I want to change the Category name, but couldn't find a way.
this is the javascript code of the chart:
janChart = Highcharts.chart('January', {
chart: {
plotBackgroundColor: null,
plotBorderWidth: null,
plotShadow: false,
type: 'pie'
},
title: {
text: 'Applications BW Usage in January, 2019'
},
tooltip: {
pointFormat: '{series.name}: <b>{point.percentage:.1f}%</b>'
},
plotOptions: {
pie: {
size:'80%',
allowPointSelect: true,
cursor: 'pointer',
dataLabels: {
enabled: true,
format: '<b>{point.name}</b>: {point.percentage:.1f} %',
style: {
color: (Highcharts.theme && Highcharts.theme.contrastTextColor) || 'black'
},
connectorColor: 'silver'
}
}
},
series: [{
name: 'Percentage (%)',
data: [
]
}]
});
Use columnHeaderFormatter
function:
exporting: {
csv: {
columnHeaderFormatter: function(item, key) {
if (!key) {
return 'custom title'
}
return false
}
}
},
