Highcharts 3D column chart with null and 0

To create a 3D column chart using Highcharts that includes null and 0 values, you can follow these steps:

  • Define the data for the chart in an array, including any null or 0 values. Each data point should have a name and a value, like this:
var data = [
  { name: 'Apples', value: 5 },
  { name: 'Oranges', value: 3 },
  { name: 'Bananas', value: null },
  { name: 'Pears', value: 0 }
];

Note that null values will not be displayed on the chart, while 0 values will be displayed as a column with a height of 0.

  • Create a Highcharts chart object and configure it with the data and chart options. In this case, we want a 3D column chart, so we'll set the chart type to 'column' and enable the 'options3d' feature, like this:
Highcharts.chart('chart-container', {
  chart: {
    type: 'column',
    options3d: {
      enabled: true,
      alpha: 15,
      beta: 15,
      depth: 50,
      viewDistance: 25
    }
  },
  title: {
    text: 'Fruit Sales'
  },
  xAxis: {
    categories: data.map(item => item.name)
  },
  yAxis: {
    title: {
      text: 'Quantity'
    }
  },
  series: [{
    name: 'Sales',
    data: data.map(item => item.value)
  }]
});
  • Customize the chart to handle null and 0 values. For example, you may want to replace null values with a default value and set a minimum value for the y-axis to ensure that 0 values are visible. You can do this using the 'dataLabels' and 'yAxis' options, like this:
Highcharts.chart('chart-container', {
  chart: {
    type: 'column',
    options3d: {
      enabled: true,
      alpha: 15,
      beta: 15,
      depth: 50,
      viewDistance: 25
    }
  },
  title: {
    text: 'Fruit Sales'
  },
  xAxis: {
    categories: data.map(item => item.name)
  },
  yAxis: {
    title: {
      text: 'Quantity'
    },
    min: 0
  },
  series: [{
    name: 'Sales',
    data: data.map(item => {
      if (item.value === null) {
        return {
          y: 0,
          dataLabels: {
            enabled: true,
            formatter: function() {
              return 'N/A';
            }
          }
        };
      } else {
        return item.value;
      }
    })
  }]
});

This will create a 3D column chart with the specified data and options, and handle null and 0 values as desired. You can customize the chart further by adjusting the options and adding additional features, like tooltips, legends, and labels.

  1. Handling null values in Highcharts 3D Column Chart:

    • Manage null values by including them in the data array, and Highcharts will automatically handle the gaps.
    Highcharts.chart('container', {
        chart: {
            type: 'column',
            options3d: {
                enabled: true,
                alpha: 10,
                beta: 25,
                depth: 100,
                viewDistance: 30
            }
        },
        series: [{
            name: 'Series 1',
            data: [10, null, 7, 22, 11]
        }],
        // Other configuration options...
    });
    
  2. Highcharts 3D Column Chart with null and zero values example:

    • Incorporate null and zero values in the data array to handle variations in data.
    Highcharts.chart('container', {
        chart: {
            type: 'column',
            options3d: {
                enabled: true,
                alpha: 10,
                beta: 25,
                depth: 100,
                viewDistance: 30
            }
        },
        series: [{
            name: 'Series 1',
            data: [10, null, 0, 22, 11]
        }],
        // Other configuration options...
    });
    
  3. Dealing with missing data in Highcharts 3D Column Chart:

    • Allow Highcharts to handle missing data points automatically by using null values in the data array.
    Highcharts.chart('container', {
        chart: {
            type: 'column',
            options3d: {
                enabled: true,
                alpha: 10,
                beta: 25,
                depth: 100,
                viewDistance: 30
            }
        },
        series: [{
            name: 'Series 1',
            data: [10, null, 7, null, 11]
        }],
        // Other configuration options...
    });
    
  4. Customizing tooltips for null values in Highcharts:

    • Customize tooltips to display meaningful information for null values.
    tooltip: {
        pointFormat: '<b>{point.y}</b>'
    },
    
  5. Highcharts 3D Column Chart null and zero data points:

    • Mix null and zero values in the data array to represent different scenarios in the chart.
    Highcharts.chart('container', {
        chart: {
            type: 'column',
            options3d: {
                enabled: true,
                alpha: 10,
                beta: 25,
                depth: 100,
                viewDistance: 30
            }
        },
        series: [{
            name: 'Series 1',
            data: [10, null, 0, null, 11]
        }],
        // Other configuration options...
    });
    
  6. Configuring axis for Highcharts 3D Column Chart with null values:

    • Configure axes to handle null values appropriately, especially when dealing with categories.
    xAxis: {
        categories: ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E']
    },
    
  7. Working with empty or zero data in Highcharts 3D Column Chart:

    • Represent empty or zero data points by including corresponding values in the data array.
    Highcharts.chart('container', {
        chart: {
            type: 'column',
            options3d: {
                enabled: true,
                alpha: 10,
                beta: 25,
                depth: 100,
                viewDistance: 30
            }
        },
        series: [{
            name: 'Series 1',
            data: [10, 0, 7, 0, 11]
        }],
        // Other configuration options...
    });
    
  8. Highcharts 3D Column Chart data formatting for null and zero:

    • Format data in a way that reflects the nature of the data, including null and zero values.
    series: [{
        name: 'Series 1',
        data: [10, null, 0, null, 11],
        dataLabels: {
            format: '{y}'
        }
    }],
    
  9. Displaying gaps or breaks in Highcharts 3D Column Chart:

    • Gaps in the chart will automatically appear when using null values in the data array.
    series: [{
        name: 'Series 1',
        data: [10, null, 7, null, 11],
        gapSize: 1 // Adjust the gap size as needed
    }],
    
  10. Highcharts 3D Column Chart series handling null and zero values:

    • Handle null and zero values at the series level for consistent representation.
    series: [{
        name: 'Series 1',
        data: [10, null, 0, null, 11],
        connectNulls: true // Connect data points with null values
    }],
