I need help in plotting this scatter chart in excel I am having trouble trying to plot the points correctly
Data
Code: Select all
       9.5    5.4
A     8.5   
B              6.6

So when I run this code I get a chart that plot the points Series 1 Point 1 (1,9.5)  I want to plot the point to be Series 'A' Point '9.5' (9.5,8.5) 


Here is my code:
Code: Select all
Workbook workbook = new Workbook();
workbook.CreateEmptySheets(1);
//Initailize worksheet
Worksheet sheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];
sheet.Name = "Chart data";
sheet.GridLinesVisible = false;
Double[] xdata = new Double[] { 9.5, 5.4 };
Double[] ydata = new Double[] { 8.5, 6.6 };
Chart chart = sheet.Charts.Add();
chart.ChartType = ExcelChartType.ScatterLineMarkers;
sheet.Range["A2"].Value = "A";
sheet.Range["A3"].Value = "B";
sheet.Range["B1"].NumberValue = xdata[0];
sheet.Range["B2"].NumberValue = ydata[0];
sheet.Range["C1"].NumberValue = xdata[1];
sheet.Range["C3"].NumberValue = ydata[1];
chart.DataRange = sheet.Range["B1:C3"];
chart.SeriesDataFromRange = false;
chart.ChartTitle = "X-Y Chart";
chart.ChartTitleArea.IsBold = true;
chart.ChartTitleArea.Size = 12;
workbook.SaveToFile("Sample.xls");
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("Sample.xls");

Hello,

Thanks for your inquiry.
Please try the following method.
Code: Select all
Workbook workbook = new Workbook();
            workbook.CreateEmptySheets(1);
            Worksheet sheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];
            sheet.Name = "Chart data";
            sheet.GridLinesVisible = false;
            Double[] xdata = new Double[] { 9.5, 5.4 };
            Double[] ydata = new Double[] { 8.5, 6.6 };
            Chart chart = sheet.Charts.Add();
            chart.ChartType = ExcelChartType.ScatterLineMarkers;
            sheet.Range["A2"].Value = "A";
            sheet.Range["A3"].Value = "B";
            sheet.Range["B1"].NumberValue = xdata[0];
            sheet.Range["B2"].NumberValue = ydata[0];
            sheet.Range["C1"].NumberValue = xdata[1];
            sheet.Range["C3"].NumberValue = ydata[1];
            chart.DataRange = sheet.Range["B1:C2"];
            chart.Series[0].CategoryLabels = sheet.Range["B1:C1"];
            chart.Series[0].Values = sheet.Range["B2:C2"];
            chart.Series[0].Name = sheet.Range["A2"].Value;
            chart.Series[1].CategoryLabels = sheet.Range["B1:C1"];
            chart.Series[1].Values = sheet.Range["B3:C3"];
            chart.Series[1].Name = sheet.Range["A3"].Value;
            //change the legend entries font size
            chart.Legend.LegendEntries[0].TextArea.Size = 24;
            chart.Legend.LegendEntries[1].TextArea.Size = 24;
            chart.ChartTitle = "X-Y Chart";
            chart.ChartTitleArea.IsBold = true;
            chart.ChartTitleArea.Size = 12;
            workbook.SaveToFile("Sample.xls");
            System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("Sample.xls");
