Set the Values Format Code of Chart Series
Possible Usage Scenarios
You can set the values format code of chart series using the Series.setValuesFormatCode method. This method is not only useful for the series which is based on the range inside the worksheet but also works well for the series created with an array of values.
Set the Values Format Code of Chart Series
The following sample code adds a series in the empty chart which has no series before. It adds the series using the array of values. Once, it adds the series, it formats it with the code $#,##0 using the Series.setValuesFormatCode method and the number 10000 becomes $10,000. The screenshot shows the effect of code on the sample Excel file and output Excel file after execution.
Sample Code
//Load the source Excel file | |
Workbook wb = new Workbook("51740712.xlsx"); | |
//Access first worksheet | |
Worksheet worksheet = wb.getWorksheets().get(0); | |
//Access first chart | |
Chart ch = worksheet.getCharts().get(0); | |
//Add series using an array of values | |
ch.getNSeries().add("{10000, 20000, 30000, 40000}", true); | |
//Access the series and set its values format code | |
Series srs = ch.getNSeries().get(0); | |
srs.setValuesFormatCode("$#,##0"); | |
//Save the output Excel file | |
wb.save("51740713.xlsx"); | |
