How to prevent display uncategorised data

Hi!
I wonder what is the best way to prevent displaying uncategorised data. For example, if my category array length is 7 and some series data is 10, I want to display only 7 columns in my chart.
I want to dynamically modify the category array and display only the values that fall into a category.

Attached image: How to prevent these 8 and 9 columns from displaying?

Thank you!

Re: How to prevent display uncategorised data

Hi there,

Welcome to our forum and thank you for contacting us with your question.

There is no built-in functionality like this one, but it's really easy to achieve. Create the categories array outside the Highcharts object, then set xAxis.categories to your array, and then set xAxis.max to yourArray.length - 1. And that's it!

Take a look at the demo below:

API Reference: https://api.highcharts.com/highcharts/xAxis.max

Let me know if that's what you were looking for,
Best regards!
