Create Excel Chart in Java
The following example shows how you can create an Excel chart in Java and select data for it using the GemBox.Spreadsheet for Java component.
Excel charts are supported only in XLSX.
To convert an existing workbook with charts into another file format, use Convert example.
For more information about charts, see the Charts help page.

SpreadsheetInfo.setLicense("FREE-LIMITED-KEY");
ExcelFile workbook = new ExcelFile();
ExcelWorksheet worksheet = workbook.addWorksheet("Chart");
int numberOfEmployees = %EmployeesCount%;
// Create Excel chart and select data for it.
ExcelChart chart = worksheet.getCharts().add(ChartType.BAR, "D2", "M25");
chart.selectData(worksheet.getCells().getSubrangeAbsolute(0, 0, numberOfEmployees, 1), true);
// Add data which is used by the Excel chart.
String[] names = new String[] { "John Doe", "Fred Nurk", "Hans Meier", "Ivan Horvat" };
java.util.Random random = new java.util.Random();
for (int i = 0; i < numberOfEmployees; i++) {
worksheet.getCell(i + 1, 0).setValue(names[i % names.length] + (i < names.length ? "" : " " + (i / names.length + 1)));
worksheet.getCell(i + 1, 1).setValue(random.nextInt(4000) + 1000);
}
// Set header row and formatting.
worksheet.getCell(0, 0).setValue("Name");
worksheet.getCell(0, 1).setValue("Salary");
worksheet.getCell(0, 1).getStyle().getFont().setWeight(ExcelFont.BOLD_WEIGHT);
