Question

I am trying to show past 3 month with year in the y axis value in highcharts. but it is not working it is coming like 0 1 2 3 4...

I want to show like ( Apr 2023 May 2023 Jun 2023) in the x axis.

   xAxis: {
  type: 'year',
  dateTimeLabelFormats: {
    // do display the month and year
    month: '%b %y',
    year: '%Y',
  },
  },

Answer 1

You should use xAxis.type: 'datetime' and xAxis.dateTimeLabelFormats set to month: '%b %Y'. Besides that, you need to also define x values as a timestamp or alternatively set pointStart and pointInterval options.
