Easy way to set up a chart using Chart.SetChartDataRange method with Node.js via C++

Aspose.Cells now provides Chart.setChartDataRange(string, boolean) method to set up charts easily. Using this method, you no longer need to add series and category‑axis data separately.

The following sample code explains how to use the Chart.setChartDataRange(string, boolean) method to set up charts easily.

const path = require("path");
const AsposeCells = require("aspose.cells.node");

// The path to the documents directory.
const dataDir = path.join(__dirname, "data");

// Create new workbook
const workbook = new AsposeCells.Workbook(AsposeCells.FileFormatType.Xlsx);

// Access first worksheet
const worksheet = workbook.getWorksheets().get(0);

// Add data for chart

// Category Axis Values
worksheet.getCells().get("A2").putValue("C1");
worksheet.getCells().get("A3").putValue("C2");
worksheet.getCells().get("A4").putValue("C3");

// First vertical series
worksheet.getCells().get("B1").putValue("T1");
worksheet.getCells().get("B2").putValue(6);
worksheet.getCells().get("B3").putValue(3);
worksheet.getCells().get("B4").putValue(2);

// Second vertical series
worksheet.getCells().get("C1").putValue("T2");
worksheet.getCells().get("C2").putValue(7);
worksheet.getCells().get("C3").putValue(2);
worksheet.getCells().get("C4").putValue(5);

// Third vertical series
worksheet.getCells().get("D1").putValue("T3");
worksheet.getCells().get("D2").putValue(8);
worksheet.getCells().get("D3").putValue(4);
worksheet.getCells().get("D4").putValue(2);

// Create column chart easily
const idx = worksheet.getCharts().add(AsposeCells.ChartType.Column, 6, 5, 20, 13);
const ch = worksheet.getCharts().get(idx);
ch.setChartDataRange("A1:D4", true);

// Save the workbook
workbook.save(path.join(dataDir, "output_out.xlsx"), AsposeCells.SaveFormat.Xlsx);
