Highcahrts export to table with multiple column types

[oyvindwh]

Expected behaviour

When having different chart types in the same chart (see attachment for example) one of the serie is of type scatter, the other ones are of type column the get table returns this in separate lines. Would be better if these where on the same line as expected.

If possible it would be nice to have the value of the first column in the tabel, not from the x-axis title but from a setting in exporting-settings in the script before defaulting to the Category/Datetime. The default is hard to translate to other languages.

Live demo with steps to reproduce

See live example => https://www.nbim.no/no/fondet/markedsverdi/ (second chart)
(the live example uses the github version, but we are soon moving to the Highchart version which has the same behavior. The screenshot is with the Highchart version.

Temporary workaround

The bug appears with scatter series. As a workaround, you can use a line series with lineWidth 0: http://jsfiddle.net/highcharts/ge4wovg3/3/

I'll implement the workaround. Any possibilities for the first cell (DateTime/Category text) to get it localized from the exporting part of the script instead of the x-axis?

Hi @oyvindwh

There are two options to change what is displayed in column headers:

1. Set xAxis.title.text but that will also be displayed on the chart.

2. Use exporting.csv.columnHeaderFormatter, for example:

            columnHeaderFormatter: function (item) {
              if (item instanceof Highcharts.Axis) {
                // axis
              	return 'My name';
              } else {
                // series
              	return item.name;
              }
            }
