Drilldown operation in Column-Stacked Bar diagram HighCharts

Question

I have a bar diagram something similar to this

https://jsfiddle.net/gh/get/library/pure/highcharts/highcharts/tree/master/samples/highcharts/demo/column-stacked/

And I need to display a drill-down in such a way that a single column is split into multiple bars in the next page.

For example: If I click Apples column in the bar, it should drill down into the next page with 3 columns

• First Column - x-Axis: Joe, y-Axis: 3
• Second Column - x-Axis: Jane, y-Axis: 2
• Third Column - x-Axis: John, y-Axis: 5

Similar operations for the rest of the columns in the main bar diagram. Finally, I should be able to navigate back to the main page as well.

Any help from anyone would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Your requirement is possible to achieve by config data in the proper way and adding drilldown module.

Demo: https://jsfiddle.net/BlackLabel/xz46uspb/

Series data example:

  series: [{
    name: 'John',
    data: [{
      y: 5,
      name: 'Apples',
      drilldown: "Apples"
    }, {
      y: 3,
      name: 'Oranges',
      drilldown: "Oranges"
    }, {
      y: 4,
      name: 'Pears',
      drilldown: "Pears"
    }]
  }, ...
],

And drilldown data:

  drilldown: {
    series: [{
      name: 'Apples',
      id: 'Apples',
      colorByPoint: true,
      data: [{
        name: 'John',
        y: 5
      }, {
        name: 'Jane',
        y: 2
      }, {
        name: 'Joe',
        y: 3
      }]
    }]
  }
