    var workbook = Workbook.Create( ChartSample.ChartSampleOutputDirectory + @"AddCharts.xlsx" );
    
    // Gets the first Worksheet. A Workbook always contains at least 1 Worksheet.
    var worksheet = workbook.Worksheets[ 0 ];
    
    // Adds Values for Category.
    worksheet.Cells[ "B4" ].Value = 2020;
    worksheet.Cells[ "B5" ].Value = 2021;
    worksheet.Cells[ "B6" ].Value = 2022;
    worksheet.Cells[ "B7" ].Value = 2023;
    worksheet.Cells[ "B8" ].Value = 2024;
    
    // Adds Values for Series.
    worksheet.Cells[ "C4" ].Value = 20;
    worksheet.Cells[ "C5" ].Value = 28;
    worksheet.Cells[ "C6" ].Value = 33;
    worksheet.Cells[ "C7" ].Value = 12;
    worksheet.Cells[ "C8" ].Value = 45;
    worksheet.Cells[ "D4" ].Value = 7;
    worksheet.Cells[ "D5" ].Value = 33;
    worksheet.Cells[ "D6" ].Value = 15;
    worksheet.Cells[ "D7" ].Value = 35;
    worksheet.Cells[ "D8" ].Value = 25;
    
    // Adds a BarChart with the generic Add method and set its SubType. The size of the Chart will be from Cell E4 to L18.
    var barChart = worksheet.Charts.Add<BarChart>( "E4", "L18" );
    barChart.SubType = BarChartSubType.Clustered;
    
    // Sets the Chart's Title.
    barChart.Title.Text = "Profits";
    barChart.Title.TextOptions.Font.Bold = true;
    
    // Sets the Legend.
    barChart.Legend.Position = LegendPositionType.Right;
    
    // Sets the Category data(y values) for the BarChart: Cells B4 to B8.
    barChart.CategoryData = CategoryData.FromCells( worksheet, "B4", "B8" );
    
    // Adds AreaSeries to the BarChart (x values) by specifying fixed values, a range of Cells' Adresses and a range of Cells' Row & Column ids.
    var barSeries1 = barChart.SeriesCollection.AddFromValues<BarSeries>( 5, 10, 15, 20, 40 );
    barSeries1.Name = "IBM";
    var barSeries2 = barChart.SeriesCollection.AddFromCells<BarSeries>( "C4", "C8" );
    barSeries2.Name = "Apple";
    var barSeries3 = barChart.SeriesCollection.AddFromCells<BarSeries>( 3, 3, 7, 3 );
    barSeries3.Name = "Amazon";
    
    // Saves the Workbook to disk.
    workbook.Save();
