I'm able to generate chart.But output differs

Expected output:In x axis level 0,level 1, level 2 need to be there. For level 0 Job A and Job B need to populate, for level 1 Job C and Job D need to populate, for level 2 Job E, Job F and Job G need to populate

Output which i'm getting : For level 0 Job A,Job C,Job E is populating, For level Job B,Job D,Job F is populating, For level 3 Jov G is populating.

In console data is coming correctly,but generating chart i'm not getting expected output.Please help me on this.

Highchart.chart('container1', { chart: { type: 'column' }, xAxis : { categories : UniqueLevels }, series: Sample Input })enter image description here

Answer 1

To achieve such output, you can enable stacking in plotOptions.column options and assign each points' x position to desired x-axis tick.

 plotOptions: {
    column: {
      stacking: 'normal'
    }
  }
