How to change a single category on x axis

...without the categories being incorrectly rendered/recognised. Is there a simple way to do this?

On this chart: https://cloud.highcharts.com/show/HJa31DqLf I'd like the last category "2017" to read "June 2017".

Tried to also put an asterisk "2017*" but that also didn't work.

Thank you

hi stimpyjcat,

You could achieve this effect by adding some code in Custom code field in Customize Chart section of your chart configuration. Please take a look at code below:

Code: Select all

Highcharts.merge(true, options, {
    xAxis: {
    	labels: {
            formatter: function() {
            	return this.value === 2017 ? '2017 June' : this.value 
            }
        }
    }
});
It changes your "2017" label to "2017 June" and only that one.

API Reference: https://api.highcharts.com/highcharts/x ... .formatter
