# Highcharts Stacked and Grouped Column Chart [Highcharts Column Chart](#) The following example demonstrates a stacked and grouped column chart. We have already learned the basic configuration syntax of Highcharts in previous chapters. Next, let's look at other configurations. Add the `stacking` property in `plotOptions`: * * * ## Configuration ### plotOptions: Data Point Options `plotOptions` is used to set properties related to data points in the chart. The property settings for `plotOptions` vary slightly depending on the chart type. Configure the chart stacking by setting `plotOptions.area.stacking` to `"percent"`. To disable stacking, use `null`. var plotOptions = { column: { stacking: 'normal', dataLabels: { enabled: true, color: (Highcharts.theme && Highcharts.theme.dataLabelsColor) || 'white', style: { textShadow: '0 0 3px black' } } }}; ### series Data Series Configuration Configure each corresponding data series item in the stacked group. series: [{ name: 'John', data: [5, 3, 4, 7, 2], stack: 'male'}] ### Example File name: highcharts_column_rotated.htm $(document).ready(function() { var chart = { type: 'column' }; var title = { text: 'Total fruit consumption, grouped by gender' }; var xAxis = { categories: ['Apples', 'Oranges', 'Pears', 'Grapes', 'Bananas'] }; var yAxis ={ allowDecimals: false, min: 0, title: { text: 'Number of fruits' } }; var plotOptions = { column: { stacking: 'normal' } }; var credits = { enabled: false }; var series= [{ name: 'John', data: [5, 3, 4, 7, 2], stack: 'male' }, { name: 'Joe', data: [3, 4, 4, 2, 5], stack: 'male' }, { name: 'Jane', data: [2, 5, 6, 2, 1], stack: 'female' }, { name: 'Janet', data: [3, 0, 4, 4, 3], stack: 'female' }]; var json = {}; json.chart = chart; json.title = title; json.xAxis = xAxis; json.yAxis = yAxis; json.plotOptions = plotOptions; json.credits = credits; json.series = series; $('#container').highcharts(json); }); [Try it »](#) The output of the above example is: [Highcharts Column Chart](#)
