Easy way for Chart Setup using Chart.SetChartDataRange method with C++

Aspose.Cells now provides Chart.SetChartDataRange() method to set up chart easily. Using this method, you will now not need to add series and category axis data separately.

The following sample code explains the use of Chart.SetChartDataRange() method to set up chart easily.

#include <iostream>
#include "Aspose.Cells.h"
using namespace Aspose::Cells;

int main()
{
    Aspose::Cells::Startup();

    // For complete examples and data files, please go to https://github.com/aspose-cells/Aspose.Cells-for-C

    // Create new workbook
    Workbook workbook(FileFormatType::Xlsx);

    // Access first worksheet
    Worksheet worksheet = workbook.GetWorksheets().Get(0);

    // Add data for chart

    // Category Axis Values
    worksheet.GetCells().Get(u"A2").PutValue(u"C1");
    worksheet.GetCells().Get(u"A3").PutValue(u"C2");
    worksheet.GetCells().Get(u"A4").PutValue(u"C3");

    // First vertical series
    worksheet.GetCells().Get(u"B1").PutValue(u"T1");
    worksheet.GetCells().Get(u"B2").PutValue(6);
    worksheet.GetCells().Get(u"B3").PutValue(3);
    worksheet.GetCells().Get(u"B4").PutValue(2);

    // Second vertical series
    worksheet.GetCells().Get(u"C1").PutValue(u"T2");
    worksheet.GetCells().Get(u"C2").PutValue(7);
    worksheet.GetCells().Get(u"C3").PutValue(2);
    worksheet.GetCells().Get(u"C4").PutValue(5);

    // Third vertical series
    worksheet.GetCells().Get(u"D1").PutValue(u"T3");
    worksheet.GetCells().Get(u"D2").PutValue(8);
    worksheet.GetCells().Get(u"D3").PutValue(4);
    worksheet.GetCells().Get(u"D4").PutValue(2);

    // Create Column chart with easy way
    int32_t idx = worksheet.GetCharts().Add(ChartType::Column, 6, 5, 20, 13);
    Chart ch = worksheet.GetCharts().Get(idx);
    ch.SetChartDataRange(u"A1:D4", true);

    // Save the workbook
    U16String outputPath = u"..\\Data\\02_OutputDirectory\\output_out.xlsx";
    workbook.Save(outputPath, SaveFormat::Xlsx);

    std::cout << "Workbook saved successfully!" << std::endl;

    Aspose::Cells::Cleanup();
