Max I can show two same dates. Does any one faced this problem ? if yes, any idea hoq to resolve it ?

Answer 1

You can set individual positions for data labels which belong to points with the same x value. For example:

  series: [{
    data: [{
      x: Date.UTC(1969, 6, 20),
      name: 'First space station',
      label: 'A',
      description: 'A1'
    }, {
      x: Date.UTC(1969, 6, 20),
      name: 'First space station',
      label: 'A',
      dataLabels: {
        y: 40
      },
      description: 'A2'
    }, ...]
  }]

Answer 2

if they have same date. but different label or title yes you can show them in chart. but if they are all same you can show the number of data on that date
