borderColor: '#CCC',
borderWidth: 1,
shadow: false
},
tooltip: {
headerFormat: '<b>{point.x}</b><br/>',
pointFormat: '{series.name}: {point.y}<br/>Total: {point.stackTotal}'
},
plotOptions: {
column: {
stacking: 'normal',
dataLabels: {
enabled: true,

Answer 1

One option is to use a logarithmic scale (http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts/yAxis.type). It will show your small numbers and your large numbers. Note, that you can't show 0 or negative numbers on a log scale.
yAxis: [{
type: "logarithmic",
min: 1,
title: {
text: 'Total fruit consumption'
},
stackLabels: {
enabled: true,
style: {
fontWeight: 'bold',
color: (Highcharts.theme && Highcharts.theme.textColor) || 'gray'
}
}
}],

You have two options with you.
1.) Either use "minPointLength". This is the minimum value for for the y-axis plotting.You can use this setting and set this to a value which will always be shown in case the value gets too small for plotting. You can use this setting like
$(function () {
$('#container').highcharts({
chart: {
type: 'column'
},
title: {
text: 'Stacked column chart'
},
xAxis: {
categories: ['Apples', 'Oranges', 'Pears', 'Grapes', 'Bananas']
},
yAxis: {
min: 0,
title: {
text: 'Total fruit consumption'
},
stackLabels: {
enabled: true,
style: {
fontWeight: 'bold',
color: (Highcharts.theme && Highcharts.theme.textColor) || 'gray'
}
}
},
legend: {
align: 'right',
x: -30,
verticalAlign: 'top',
y: 25,
floating: true,
backgroundColor: (Highcharts.theme && Highcharts.theme.background2) || 'white',
borderColor: '#CCC',
borderWidth: 1,
shadow: false
},
tooltip: {
headerFormat: '<b>{point.x}</b><br/>',
pointFormat: '{series.name}: {point.y}<br/>Total: {point.stackTotal}'
},
plotOptions: {
column: {
stacking: 'normal',
dataLabels: {
enabled: true,
color: (Highcharts.theme && Highcharts.theme.dataLabelsColor) || 'white',
style: {
textShadow: '0 0 3px black'
}
},
minPointLength: 5
}
},
series: [{
name: 'John',
data: [7000, 5, 1, 1, 2]
}, {
name: 'Jane',
data: [2000, 10, 1, 1, 2]
}, {
name: 'Joe',
data: [5, 1, 1, 1, 2]
}]
});
});
2.) You can change the "stacking" option to 'percent' and remove the 'minPointLength' . This will cause the stacked columns to appear w.r.t to their value percentages.
Please play with the above two options and see if it works for you !!!
