That would be a bit like the standard, grouped columns, right? Or do you mean something different? https://www.highcharts.com/demo/column-basic

Hi, is it possible to use grouped categories, however hide the labels for the subcategories on the x-axis?
Thanks for an answer!

Hi,
I am stuck with a similar, but complex scenario.

I have the high charts with x-axis labels as
[raid1, raid2, wafl1, wafl2, raid3, nst1, nst2, wafl3, nst3, xyz, abc]
which I have to group under
[raid, raid, wafl, wafl, raid, nst, nst, wafl, nst, nst, raid]

Currently, I am populating all this array, and the content of array is not definitive.

In this scenario, how can I group the data?

I would prefer a 'real' second x-axis, because I would get a all axis format options already available for axis formatting. I made a study that uses a second x-axis:

When can we expect this feature? I was hoping for Highcharts 4, but it's not there...

The label in X axis are getting overlapped

ok, I will do that

Yes the devs at Black Label are probably happy for that. And you should post the issue at https://github.com/blacklabel/grouped_categories/issues so it is registered.

Actually the export function doesn't work with this plugin. The data witch is in the lower row of the X-axis doesn't appear in the exported image.

This is how the chart looks like on the page (printscreen): http://imgur.com/plAlGke
This is the exported image: http://imgur.com/OjgXvGf

Furthermore - after the export, the chart changes so that the second row is compressed, like this: http://imgur.com/1itWdxw

I can supply the code on jsfiddle - if needed!

We have sent a pull request for this issue, see https://github.com/blacklabel/grouped_categories/pull/13. We will ask the owners to pull or to give us collaboration rights.

Hi, thanks for your work!!!
this link "https://github.com/blacklabel/grouped_categories " is good but on the export the grouped categories is not displayed.
I tried to change the js and i have successfully displayed them but not at the right place!!

do you have a solution for this please ?

thx for reply

I would also like to see this functionality and dont like the prospect of paying for an API to then have to work out how to make the changes I need.

I am surprised that no one has added this to highcharts because it seems to be a common requirement and I have spent 2 days researching available API's (free and paid) and none of them supports this functionality.

I would have thought it would be good to be the only API that does offer this functionality..

The way I was charting that needs this is we have a essentially a main group where you want the columns grouped together ie) different english class levels, and then the columns themselves have individual names ie) Different semesters, I would also like it to be available with stacked columns

Sorry, should have said. I'd really like it for a stacked chart as shown in my link.

This would be really really really useful. I asked this on the support forums and got a response which others might find useful.

This is really important for charts based on pivot tables.

If it helps, I've added some more detail on how this could be defined, and a hacked up example rendering in highcharts: http://jsfiddle.net/pMA2H/1/
