Column Chart in Spreadsheet Document Leave feedback

Note

In this article, we will use GroupDocs.Assembly to generate a Column Chart Report with Filtered, Ordered and Grouped Data in Spreadsheet Document format based on the use case: Working with a Business Case.

Note

The code uses some of the objects defined in The Business Layer.

Following below steps, you can create a column chart in MS Excel 2013:

1. Create a new Workbook.
2. Click the “Insert” tab, and then click “Insert Column Chart” icon in the Charts group to view the drop-down list.
3. Select the “100% Stacked Column” and press “OK” to insert the chart and Worksheet template to your Worksheet.
4. Edit the Worksheet with your data to update the chart. See Chart Data.
5. Save your Document.

As a report developer, you are required to share orders quantity of the customers dynamically with the following key requirements:

• A report must show the quantity of sales/orders.
• Sales/orders quantity must represented by Quarters.
• It must associate order quantity with the corresponding customer.
• A report must be generated in the Spreadsheet Document.

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]>>

Legend Entries

="1st Quarter<<y [Where(c => c.OrderDate.Month >= 1 && c.OrderDate.Month <= 3).Sum(c => c.ProductQuantity)]>>"
="2nd Quarter<<y [Where(c => c.OrderDate.Month >= 4 && c.OrderDate.Month <= 6).Sum(c => c.ProductQuantity)]>>"
="3rd Quarter<<y [Where(c => c.OrderDate.Month >= 7 && c.OrderDate.Month <= 9).Sum(c => c.ProductQuantity)]>>"
="4th Quarter<<y [Where(c => c.OrderDate.Month >= 10 && c.OrderDate.Month <= 12).Sum(c => c.ProductQuantity)]>>"
