Public API Changes
Support of external workbooks as a data source for charts has been added (C++)
Since version 19.4 Aspose.Slides supports external workbooks as a data source for charts.
IResourceLoadingCallback can be used to manage external workbook loading. See New IResourceLoadingCallback class has been added
- Chart data in external workbooks can be edited the same way it works for internal workbooks. If external workbook can’t be loaded an exception is thrown.
System::SharedPtr<Presentation> pres = System::MakeObject<Presentation>(u"presentation.pptx");
System::SharedPtr<IChart> chart = System::DynamicCast_noexcept<Aspose::Slides::Charts::IChart>(pres->get_Slides()->idx_get(0)->get_Shapes()->idx_get(0));
System::SharedPtr<ChartData> chartData = System::DynamicCast<Aspose::Slides::Charts::ChartData>(chart->get_ChartData());
assert(chartData->get_DataSourceType() == Aspose::Slides::Charts::ChartDataSourceType::ExternalWorkbook);
chartData->get_Series()->idx_get(0)->get_DataPoints()->idx_get(0)->get_Value()->get_AsCell()->set_Value(System::ObjectExt::Box<int32_t>(100));
pres->Save(outPptxFileName, Aspose::Slides::Export::SaveFormat::Pptx);
- An external workbook can be assigned to a chart as a data source. For this purpose IChartData::SetExternalWorkbook(string workbookPath) method has been added.
SetExternalWorkbook() method can be also used to update a path to the external workbook if it has been moved. *Workbooks placed on remote resources unavailable for data editing but still can be assigned as an external data source. *If the relative path was provided for an external workbook, it converts to full path automatically.

System::SharedPtr<Presentation> pres = System::MakeObject<Presentation>();
System::SharedPtr<IChart> chart = pres->get_Slides()->idx_get(0)->get_Shapes()->AddChart(Aspose::Slides::Charts::ChartType::Pie, 50.0f, 50.0f, 400.0f, 600.0f, false);
System::SharedPtr<IChartData> chartData = chart->get_ChartData();
assert(chartData->get_DataSourceType() == Aspose::Slides::Charts::ChartDataSourceType::InternalWorkbook);
chartData->SetExternalWorkbook(u"externalWorkbook.xlsx");
assert(chartData->get_DataSourceType() == Aspose::Slides::Charts::ChartDataSourceType::ExternalWorkbook);
chartData->get_Series()->Add(chartData->get_ChartDataWorkbook()->GetCell(0, u"B1"), Aspose::Slides::Charts::ChartType::Pie);
chartData->get_Series()->idx_get(0)->get_DataPoints()->AddDataPointForPieSeries(chartData->get_ChartDataWorkbook()->GetCell(0, u"B2"));
chartData->get_Series()->idx_get(0)->get_DataPoints()->AddDataPointForPieSeries(chartData->get_ChartDataWorkbook()->GetCell(0, u"B3"));
chartData->get_Series()->idx_get(0)->get_DataPoints()->AddDataPointForPieSeries(chartData->get_ChartDataWorkbook()->GetCell(0, u"B4"));
chartData->get_Categories()->Add(chartData->get_ChartDataWorkbook()->GetCell(0, u"A2"));
chartData->get_Categories()->Add(chartData->get_ChartDataWorkbook()->GetCell(0, u"A3"));
chartData->get_Categories()->Add(chartData->get_ChartDataWorkbook()->GetCell(0, u"A4"));
pres->Save(u"Presentation.pptx", Aspose::Slides::Export::SaveFormat::Pptx);
- Combination of methods IChartData::ReadWorkbookStream() and IChartData::SetExternalWorkbook() can be used to create an external workbook from scratch or to make an internal workbook external.
System::SharedPtr<Presentation> pres = System::MakeObject<Presentation>(u"presentaion.pptx");
System::String externalWbPath = u"externalWorkbook.pptx";
System::SharedPtr<IChart> chart = pres->get_Slides()->idx_get(0)->get_Shapes()->AddChart(Aspose::Slides::Charts::ChartType::Pie, 50.0f, 50.0f, 400.0f, 600.0f);
if (System::IO::File::Exists(externalWbPath))
System::IO::File::Delete(externalWbPath);
System::SharedPtr<System::IO::FileStream> fileStream = System::MakeObject<System::IO::FileStream>(externalWbPath, System::IO::FileMode::CreateNew);
System::ArrayPtr<uint8_t> worbookData = chart->get_ChartData()->ReadWorkbookStream()->ToArray();
fileStream->Write(worbookData, 0, worbookData->get_Length());
fileStream->Close();
chart->get_ChartData()->SetExternalWorkbook(externalWbPath);
