    Adding Syntax to be evaluated by GroupDocs.Assembly Engine

    Chart Title 

    Total Order Quantity by Quarters<<foreach [in orders.Where(c => c.OrderDate.Year == 2015)
.GroupBy(c => c.Customer)
.OrderBy(g => g.Key.CustomerName)]>>
<<x [Key.CustomerName]>>

    Chart Data (Excel)

     

    1st Quarter<<y [Where(c => c.Date.Month >= 1 && c.Date.Month <= 3).Sum(c => c.ProductQuantity)]>>

    2nd Quarter<<y [Where(c => c.Date.Month >= 4 && c.Date.Month <= 6).Sum(c => c.ProductQuantity)]>>

    3rd Quarter<<y [Where(c => c.Date.Month >= 7 && c.Date.Month <= 9).Sum(c => c.ProductQuantity)]>>

    4th Quarter<<y [Where(c => c.Date.Month >= 10 && c.Date.Month <= 12).Sum(c => c.ProductQuantity)]>>
