I'm developing a web site using c# and MVC4. In one of the sections I have a couple of pie charts that are created using highcharts lib and are based on a table of totals next to the charts.
I need to export to excel both the table with the totals and the charts, and I need to do it in a way in which, once exported, if the table changes in excel the graph will also be updated inside the spreadsheet.
My company is using Infragistics to export to excel, so exporting the table is not a problem, but I'm not sure how to export the pie charts.
I saw this example where a pivot table is created and feed to the table, but I noticed that it is using native excel libraries instead of Infragistics, I've been trying to migrate this but can't seem to find the equivalent to Excel.Application inside Infragistics lib.
Another solution that occur to me is that maybe I can enter a formula inside a cell and have it create the pie chart but I don't think this is possible since, if I'm not wrong, the pie chart is not even included in a cell, but it is a graphic that floats inside the spreadsheet.
So if anyone has had any experience drawing a pie chart from c# to excel using Infragistics and can point me in the right direction would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
I am a developer at Infragistics and work on the Excel library. Currently, charts will be round-tripped when a file is loaded and saved, but they cannot be manipulated or created at run-time in our object model. You can submit a feature request for this ability here: http://ideas.infragistics.com/
Using Infragistics, I don't know if you can create an Excel pie chart, but if you want to create it in a web or windows application, use this:
Infragistics® Chart

I am trying to export my MS chart from my Windows from exported out to Excel. Are there any ways to go about doing it or any website that I should look into for help? I have searched with Google but it only shows ASP .NET which is not applicable to me.
My project
What I expect
Instead of chart, Try to export the values or data of chart in Excel (table(s)) and create the chart in the excel so it can be auto populated in there.
I have a C#/ASP.NET program that exports and excel file using EPPlus. I would like to incorporate a box-and-whisker plot into my excel file. However, it doesn't seem to be a default chart type in EPPlus when I look at the options under eChartType, does anyone know how to get one of these charts into the exported excel file.
Thank you!
So after more research it looks like the answer is no. Box Plots weren't added into Excel until the 2016 update and EPPlus is based on earlier versions. However, this pdf from the NI describes how to approximate a box and whisker plot using a stacked bar chart and I suspect it would be possible to recreate this process using EPPlus.
I have this Excel Sheet That I want to generate from my WPF Application, What is the easiest way to do so, bear in mind that the table in the sheet may have many containers and each container may have one or more sizes and so on as shown.
I'v looked at the ReportViewer provided in WPF but I don't know how to design such a report using the ReportViewer.
Another thing came to my mind is to fill the excel sheet from the WPF and I found a way to do so by specifying tags (Ex: Date: ) in which I can fill these tags from my WPF application, but I don't know who to generate tables and set their columns and rows according to the data in the database.
Thank you.
Did you try adding Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel as a dll, and try the code given here.
Or have a look at this sample:
WPF Spreadsheet
I have made good experience with the EPPlus library. The nice thing is, you don't need any MS Office components on your OS to generate the excel files.
I've been using Microsoft COM model to prepare reports but it is slow and fails if server does not have excel installed. So I am moving to using OpenXML for creating reports from a server process that does a ton of other things as well.
I've a template that contains named ranges for data that I need to change or extend, named charts, named chart series, named worksheets, etc. All my formatting is contained in excel file and all I do in my server side process is populate the file with data.
These are the steps that I need to replicate using Excel OpenXML:
Open an existing sheet and create a new sheet based on it.
Get the worksheet by worksheet name
Get the Named Ranges in that worksheet.
Populate the Named Ranges from data and extend the ranges if required based on data set.
Get Chart by Chart Name
Get Chart Series by Series Title
Set Chart series to the new range
Export Chart to jpeg to be used in html.
Save new File.
Is it possible to do these steps in OpenXML cleanly? Any examples will help me a lot. Or a light weight library that does this. Some of these 3rd party libraries are too big and are more useful in creating new sheets from scratch.
Any help appreciated.
AFAIK, with OpenXml you can do anything.
I recommend a ClosedXml lib, it wraps OpenXML SDK and makes it easier to do your job. Link contains samples and stuff. Hope that helps.
I would like to seek help again :) Is there a way to display chart value and graphs from gridview value?
What im trying to do this is upload an excel file and then display it on the gridview. (i was able to do this; i coded it with c#) but then i wish to display the chart values and graphs with the values fetched from the gridview. im currently using Microsoft Chart Tools.
Is this possible?
Thanks,
Nhoyti
Yes, it's possible. If you want an easy integration you can look at DevExpress. They have data, charting, and pivot tools that will work for WinForms, WPF, Silverlight and ASP.Net.
