Highcharts mixed column/spline, wrong xaxis labels - highcharts

I am trying to finalize a graph where I report the daily production within a month and a couple of other daily based series. The graph is always set at full scale, meaning that I always show all the days within a month, even if I do not have values for them, whichever is the reason why. On the first day of each month, I display the graph of the previous month, as a report.
This is the jfiddle I've set up so that you can have an idea. The problem I've been fighting against is that, whatever I try to do, Highcharts simply ignores me and displays wrong labels on x axis. So the days start from 2, go throughout the whole month to the last and they end with 1.
This is the code for my chart:
$(function() {
var chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
chart: {
renderTo: 'tab-month-graph',
zoomType: 'xy'
},
title: {
text: 'Daily - August 2015'

I've read tons of posts on Stack Overflow, tried tons of suggestions, I've even tried this post tinyurl.com/psbzxeh on HighCharts official forum which is referred to a similar problem, but it did not solve my issue.
Could someone point me out to the right solution?

Just to clarify things: columns look like translated by one day, because of that time (21:57:10 UTC) - which is almost another day (without UTC it's 23:57:10 for GMT+2:00). In general, if you have daily data, then it's better to use 00:00:00 as this is when exactly date starts. Manipulating JSON shouldn't be that hard, see:
function modify(data) {
var time;
data.map(function(e) {
time = new Date(e[0]);
time.setUTCHours(0);
time.setUTCMinutes(0);
time.setUTCSeconds(0);
e[0] = time.getTime();
return e;
});
return data;
}
And:
series: [{
name: 'Prod.',
type: 'column',
data: modify([
[1438466230000, 4603.36],
...
])
}]
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/p7vnqmt7/3/
Note: to remove extra tick at the last place on the axis, you can simply set xAxis.max.
And to answer question in the comment: no, pointInterval shouldn't be used when you have data as x-y pair.

try below function above your highchart function and set xAxis min and max.
Use very first timestamp(date) as min and last timestamp(date) as max value.
$( function () {
Highcharts.setOptions( {
lang : {
rangeSelectorZoom : ' '
},
global : {
useUTC : false
}
} );
} );

how to take only categories for x-axis and remove unwanted scaling in Highstock chart

I want create a bar line graphs with navigator,range selector, y axis from both side and graph sector. I implement it using Highcharts.Chart() but it's x-axis not comes properly. when i create x-axis properly after change categories to ["2017-2-3'] then range selector goes to 1970 (default value) so i convert date to milliseconds. Now in the x-axis have unwanted values. I want to show only x-axis values which shows in category array. currently 1m,3m,6m not worked i think it happen because of this x-axis issue.

Just comment the tickInterval for the xAxis
//tickInterval : 2,
Fiddle
First of all, you have unsorted data. If you want to invert your data, use reversed option.
Also, the rangeSelector and the tickInterval are wrong. If you use datetime axis, then the basic unit is one millisecond.
However, to show dates only from the categories array, use the tickPositions option and formatter function for labels:
xAxis: {
reversed: true,
minRange: 1,
type: 'datetime',
tickPositions: categories,
labels: {
formatter: function() {
return Highcharts.dateFormat('%Y-%m', this.value);
}
}
},
Live demo: http://jsfiddle.net/BlackLabel/a6Lphq4k/
API Reference:
https://api.highcharts.com/highcharts/xAxis.reversed
https://api.highcharts.com/highcharts/xAxis.tickPositions
https://api.highcharts.com/highcharts/xAxis.labels.formatter
(1) First always make sure that you are injecting timestamps in your categories, and formatting them in :
(1-1) xAxis.labels.formatter function [for x axis labels]
(1-2) navigator.xAxis.labels.formatter function [for navigation labels format)
(2) Second make sure that you are clearing your (xAxis.categories) if you push data into it. because highcharts don't sort your array. if you just assign new array that's ok.
(3) Note : Based on values on your categories array, navigation gets some values like xAxis min and xAxis Max. when you change your data these values remain and that's why your navigation collapses. so when changing data make sure to update. you can use 0 for minimum of navigator and categories.length for maximum value of navigator.
you can access updated values also in dataMin and dataMax.
Hope this answer help you.

How to properly plot UTC data in Highcharts if labels do not match x-axis?

I have a series of data points (UTC date and value) that I need to plot using Highcharts, which by default uses UTC. However, the data can be in different user timezones, so in this example I am setting it to New York. I noticed that even though the tooltip on each of my data points is correct, e.g. those for 10/26, some of them seem to be plotted in the section of the plot corresponding to 10/27. I expect all 9 data points for 10/26 to be plotted before the 10/17 mark. Does anyone see the issue in my code? I have created a JSFIFFLE to illustrate the issue clearly.
var timeZone = 'America/New_York';
var timeZoneOffsetValue = moment(values[0].data[0][0]).tz("America/New_York")._offset;
console.log(timeZoneOffsetValue);

+ ' - ' + Highcharts.numberFormat(this.y, 2);
return s;
},
},

});

Note: in my actual code, I have noticed that sometimes when I first load the plot, most of the time the 3 data points are in the 10/27 slot, but if I reload the plot, then sometimes the data points move into the 10/16 date range. This is what makes this more confusing.

grouping date in Highcharts if the date range is too big

I am using Highcharts to show some statistic for my customer but I have problem when the customer select long data range
here is the first image for my highchart in the default view
and if I select too long date range here is the result
here is my code
$(function () {
var chart;

}
},

},

x: -20
},
xAxis: {

align: 'right',
style: {
fontSize: '10px',
fontFamily: 'Verdana, sans-serif'
}
}
},
yAxis: {
title: {
text: 'Visits'
},
min: 0,
plotLines: [{
value: 0,
width: 1,
color: '#808080'
}]
},
tooltip: {
formatter: function() {
return '<b>'+ this.x +' '+'</b><br/>'+ this.y +'Hit';
}
},
legend: {
layout: 'vertical',

verticalAlign: 'top',
x: -10,
y: 10,
borderWidth: 0
},
series: [{name:'from 2011-09-1',data: [<?php print $visits; ?>]}]
});
});
});
Highcharts can automatically manage time values in the x-Axis, provided that your chart is configured correctly. The problem in your case is that you've told Highcharts to use your categories, and it shows all of the categories.
To set up your chart to avoid this, you'll need to do two things:
Set the x-Axis type to datetime
Make sure that your data is formatted correctly
Or, use pointStart and pointInterval if you can't mess around with the data.
Using your example:
// ...
xAxis: {
//remove categories and set type as 'datetime'
type: 'datetime',
labels: {
rotation: -45,
align: 'right',
style: {
fontSize: '10px',
fontFamily: 'Verdana, sans-serif'
}
}
},
// ...
series: [{
name:'from 2011-09-1',
// since you probably don't want to change your data, we leave it alone...
data: [<?php print $visits; ?>],
// ... and instead, set `pointStart` and `pointInterval`
pointStart: Date.UTC(2011, 8, 1), // September 1, 2011
pointInterval: 24 * 3600 * 1000 // each point is 1 day (measured in milliseconds)
}]

Bar value depend on other bar value in HighChart

I am developing bar chart using Highchart library.I created two y axis, first is for TAM and second for Share.Share is in percentage while TAM is not.For the Share y-axis value, I made the maximum value is 100 and it fixed, but for TAM the value is dynamic.
Referring to the graph
[http://jsfiddle.net/unidha/vGVRb/45/][1]
There a requirement to make Share bar height to depend on the Tam bar height. For example, currently Tam one is 12,300,000 unit and share one is 70% .Based on the graph, Share One is taller than Tam One because it has it's own axis.Now how I want to make the Share One's height is 70% from Tam One 's bar height?
Is it possible to do that?As my understanding for all this time, the bar height should be determined by the y-axis NOT based on other bar height.In case got solution for such requirement, what possibility it should be?
Here the same code that reside in above jsfiddle for your reference.
$(function () {
$('#container').highcharts({
chart: {
type:'column',
zoomType: 'xy',

Thanks
You can do this, but you need to pass series data as calculated values, not percent, for example: http://jsfiddle.net/vGVRb/48/
tooltip: {
shared: true,
formatter: function () {
var s = this.x,
points = this.points,
len = points.length;
for (var i = 0; i < len; i++) {
var p = points[i];
console.log(p);
s += '<br><span style="color:' + p.series.color + '">' + p.series.name + '</span><span>: ' + p.point.label + '</span>';
}
return s;
}
},
series: [{
name: 'Tam Unit',
color: '#4572A7',
type: 'column',
data: [{
y: 12300000,
label: '12300000 units'
}, {
y: 34400000,
label: '34400000 units'
}],
groupPadding: 0
}, {
name: 'Share',
color: '#89A54E',
type: 'column',
data: [{
y: 12300000 * 0.7,
label: '70%'
}, {
y: 34400000 * 0.4,
label: '40%'
}],
groupPadding: 0
}]
You can observe 'label' property under data, which is used later in tooltip.formatter to make sure you will display proper tooltip. Also, values are calculated accordingly to percentage in label.

Dates instead of values on Highchart labels in graph with multiple axis

I've created a line and a bar graph that share the xAxis. But for some reason it chooses to display the value instead of date, even though I am supplying it the standard way.
What am I missing here?

If you added the the "type" to the xAxis definition then the x values will be interpreted as dates and times rather than decimal values
xAxis: {
type : "datetime", //add this line
gridLineWidth: 1,
labels: {
rotation: -45,
align: 'right',
style: {
fontSize: '13px',
fontFamily: 'Verdana, sans-serif'
}
}
},
you may have to fiddle with the start times and intervals to get HighChart to correctly interpret your x-values.
see this demo on the highchart website as an example. http://jsfiddle.net/gh/get/jquery/1.9.1/highslide-software/highcharts.com/tree/master/samples/highcharts/demo/line-time-series/
The reason is that you are not actually creating a Stock chart. Your code looks like:
var chart = new Highcharts.Chart(options);
If you want it to be a Stock chart do:
var chart = new Highcharts.StockChart(options);
A Chart by default is a category chart. StockChart is time-based.
You can use dateFormat to replace time in miliseconds with date.
http://jsfiddle.net/3bE4X/
formatter:function(){
return Highcharts.dateFormat('%d / %m / %Y',this.value);
}
