The code below would display the following Chart:

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 BubbleChart with the generic Add method and set its SubType. The size of the Chart will be from Cells E4 to L18.
var columnChart = worksheet.Charts.Add<ColumnChart>( "E4", "L18" );
columnChart.SubType = ColumnChartSubType.Stacked;

// Sets the Chart's Title.
columnChart.Title.Text = "Profits";
columnChart.Title.TextOptions.Font.Bold = true;

// Sets the Legend.
columnChart.Legend.Position = LegendPositionType.Right;

// Sets the Category data(x values) for the ColumnChart : Cells B4 to B8.
columnChart.CategoryData = CategoryData.FromCells( worksheet, "B4", "B8" );

// Adds ColumnSeries to the ColumnChart (y values) by specifying fixed values, a range of Cells’ Adresses and a Range of Cells’ Row & Column ids.
var columnSeries1 = columnChart.SeriesCollection.AddFromValues<ColumnSeries>( 5, 10, 15, 20, 40 );
columnSeries1.Name = "IBM";
var columnSeries2 = columnChart.SeriesCollection.AddFromCells<ColumnSeries>( "C4", "C8" );
columnSeries2.Name = "Apple";
var columnSeries3 = columnChart.SeriesCollection.AddFromCells<ColumnSeries>( 3, 3, 7, 3 );
columnSeries3.Name = "Amazon";

// Saves Workbook to disk.
workbook.Save();
