    <p>I have a json object which I am trying to add to my highcharts options.</p> <p>I am able to recieve the object via API, and pass it to my highcharts function, But I am unable to add my data to the static data around it.</p> <pre><code> var datas; datas = getData(); //getdata(); alert('2datass'+datas); console.log(datas); createChart(datas); function createChart(data){ alert('createChart'+data); // works - outputs createChart[object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object] var dynamicData; for(var i =0;i &lt;= data.length-1;i++) { var item = data[i]; dynamicData = dynamicData + { type: 'column', name: item.name, data: [item.difference] }; } alert('dynamic' +dynamicData); // works, but says undefined before - outputs dynamic undefined[object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object] var series = [data /*This is where my data should sit*/,{ type: 'column', name: 'Jane', data: [300, 30] }, { type: 'column', name: 'John', data: [-200, 50] }, { type: 'column', name: 'Joe', data: [444, -25] }, { type: 'column', name: 'Jobe', data: [444, -25] }, { type: 'column', name: 'Jooe', data: [444, -25] },{ type: 'column', name: 'Jane', data: [300, 30] } , { type: 'pie', name: 'Total consumption', data: [{ name: 'Jane', y: 13 //color: '#4572A7' // Jane's color }, { name: 'John', y: 23 //color: '#AA4643' // John's color }, { name: 'Joe', y: 19 //color: '#89A54E' // Joe's color }], center: [30, 80], size: 100, showInLegend: false, dataLabels: { enabled: false } }]; var options = { chart: { renderTo: 'container' }, title: { text: 'Account Managers Leaderboard' }, xAxis: { categories: ['Month on Month', 'Day on Day'] }, tooltip: { formatter: function() { var s; if (this.point.name) { // the pie chart s = ''+ this.point.name +': '+ this.y +' sales'; } else { s = ''+ this.x +': '+ this.y; } return s; } }, labels: { items: [{ html: 'Total proportion of sales &lt;br /&gt;this month', style: { left: '40px', top: '-5px', color: 'black' } }] }, series: series }; $(document).ready(function() { var chart; chart = new Highcharts.Chart(options); }); } function getData(){ //alert('ajax'); var receivedData; // store your value here $.ajax({ type: "GET", dataType: "json", url: "API URL", async: false, success: function(data){ alert('data'+data); //works receivedData = data; } }); return receivedData; }; </code></pre> <p>My solution seems to be the wrong one as the dynamic data is not being added. Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p> <p>UPDATED CODE:</p> <pre><code> var dynamicData = { type: 'column', name: 'FIRST', data: [300, 30] }; //Without the following loop, my chart will display the above entry "FIRST" //With the loop, the chart omits everything in dynamicData for(var i =0;i &lt;= data.length-1;i++) { var item = data[i]; dynamicData = dynamicData + { type: 'column', name: item.name, data: [item.difference] }; } alert('dynamic' +dynamicData); // works, but says undefined before - outputs dynamic undefined[object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object][object Object] //dynamicData should be 'FIRST' and then 5 other returned rows var series = [dynamicData, { type: 'column', name: 'John', data: [-200, 50] }, { type: 'column', name: 'Joe', data: [444, -25] }, { type: 'column', name: 'Jobe', data: [444, -25] }, { type: 'column', name: 'Jooe', data: [444, -25] },{ type: 'column', name: 'Jane', data: [300, 30] } , { type: 'pie', name: 'Total consumption', data: [{ name: 'Jane', y: 13 //color: '#4572A7' // Jane's color }, { name: 'John', y: 23 //color: '#AA4643' // John's color }, { name: 'Joe', y: 19 //color: '#89A54E' // Joe's color }], center: [30, 80], size: 100, showInLegend: false, dataLabels: { enabled: false } }]; </code></pre> <p>AMENDED CODE, USING .push:</p> <pre><code> // series has been moved straight into the options variable var options = { chart: { renderTo: 'container' }, title: { text: 'Account Managers Leaderboard' }, xAxis: { categories: ['Month on Month', 'Day on Day'] }, tooltip: { formatter: function() { var s; if (this.point.name) { // the pie chart s = ''+ this.point.name +': '+ this.y +' sales'; } else { s = ''+ this.x +': '+ this.y; } return s; } }, labels: { items: [{ html: 'Total proportion of sales &lt;br /&gt;this month', style: { left: '40px', top: '-5px', color: 'black' } }] }, series: [{ type: 'pie', name: 'Total consumption', data: [{ name: 'Jane', y: 13 //color: '#4572A7' // Jane's color }, { name: 'John', y: 23 //color: '#AA4643' // John's color }, { name: 'Joe', y: 19 //color: '#89A54E' // Joe's color }], center: [30, 80], size: 100, showInLegend: false, dataLabels: { enabled: false } }] }; //I can now push data straight to seriese (although item.difference doesn't // work .. perhaps because it's an array) for(var i =0;i &lt;= data.length-1;i++) { var item = data[i]; options.series.push({ "type": "column", "name": item.name, "data": item.data }); alert('datavalue' +item.data); } $(document).ready(function() { var chart; chart = new Highcharts.Chart(options); }); </code></pre> <p>ANSWER!</p> <p>This seems to do the trick. Thank you to Speransky Danil for struggling along with me - much appreciated.</p> <pre><code> var datas; datas = getData(); createChart(datas); function createChart(data){ var options = { chart: { renderTo: 'container' }, title: { text: 'Account Managers Leaderboard' }, xAxis: { categories: ['Month on Month', 'Day on Day'] }, tooltip: { formatter: function() { var s; if (this.point.name) { // the pie chart s = ''+ this.point.name +': '+ this.y +' sales'; } else { s = ''+ this.x +': '+ this.y; } return s; } }, labels: { items: [{ html: 'Total proportion of sales &lt;br /&gt;this month', style: { left: '40px', top: '-5px', color: 'black' } }] }, series: [{ type: 'pie', name: 'Total consumption', data: [{ name: 'Jane', y: 13 //color: '#4572A7' // Jane's color }, { name: 'John', y: 23 //color: '#AA4643' // John's color }, { name: 'Joe', y: 19 //color: '#89A54E' // Joe's color }], center: [30, 80], size: 100, showInLegend: false, dataLabels: { enabled: false } }] }; for(var i =0;i &lt;= data.length-1;i++) { var item = data[i]; options.series.push({ "type": "column", "name": item.name, "data": [item.data] }); } $(document).ready(function() { var chart; chart = new Highcharts.Chart(options); }); } function getData(){ //alert('ajax'); var receivedData; // store your value here $.ajax({ type: "GET", dataType: "json", url: "API URL", async: false, success: function(data){ alert('data'+data); //works receivedData = data; } }); return receivedData; }; </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
