How to set 2D array data values for a combination chart in a Word document

4 mins read

Syncfusion Essential DocIO is a .NET Word library used to create, read, edit, and convert Word documents programmatically without Microsoft Word or interop dependencies. Using this library, you can set 2D array data values for a combination chart in a Word document using C#.

Steps to set 2D array data values for a combination chart in a Word document:

  1. Create a new .NET Core console application project. Create console application in Visual Studio
  2. Install the Syncfusion.DocIO.Net.Core NuGet package as a reference to your project from NuGet.org.
    Add DocIO NuGet package reference to the project

Starting with v16.2.0.x, if you reference Syncfusion assemblies from trial setup or from the NuGet feed, include a license key in your projects. Refer to the link to learn about generating and registering a Syncfusion license key in your application to use the components without trail message.

  1. Include the following namespaces in Program.cs file
    C#
using Syncfusion.DocIO.DLS;
using Syncfusion.DocIO;
using Syncfusion.OfficeChart;
using System.IO; 
  1. Use the following code example to set 2D array data values for a combination chart in a Word document.
    C#
//Define a 2D array with dimensions [3, 13]
string[,] data = new string[3, 13]
{
   { "Month", "Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec" },
   { "Rainy Days", "12", "11", "10", "9", "8", "6", "4", "6", "7", "8", "10", "11" },
   { "Profit", "3574", "4708", "5332", "6693", "8843", "12347", "15180", "11198", "9739", "9846", "6620", "5085" }
};
//Create a new Word document.
using (WordDocument document = new WordDocument())
{
   //Add a section to the document.
   IWSection section = document.AddSection();
   //Add a paragraph to the section.
   IWParagraph paragraph = section.AddParagraph();
   //Create and append the chart to the paragraph.
   WChart chart = paragraph.AppendChart(446, 270);
   //Set chart data using values from the 2D array.
   for (int i = 0; i < data.GetLength(0); i++)
   {
       for (int j = 0; j < data.GetLength(1); j++)
       {
           string value = data[i, j];
           //Try to parse the value as an integer, if possible
           if (int.TryParse(value, out int intValue))
           {
               //Set the integer value.
               chart.ChartData.SetValue(j + 1, i + 1, intValue);
           }
           else
           {
               //Set the string value.
               chart.ChartData.SetValue(j + 1, i + 1, value);
           }
       }
   }
   //Set region of Chart data.
   chart.DataRange = chart.ChartData[1, 1, 13, 3];
   //Set chart series in the column for assigned data region.
   chart.IsSeriesInRows = false;
   //Set a Chart Title.
   chart.ChartTitle = "Combination Chart";
   //Set Datalabels.
   IOfficeChartSerie series1 = chart.Series[0];
   IOfficeChartSerie series2 = chart.Series[1];
   //Set Serie type.
   series1.SerieType = OfficeChartType.Column_Clustered;
   series2.SerieType = OfficeChartType.Line;
   series2.UsePrimaryAxis = false;
   //Set Datalabels.
   series1.DataPoints.DefaultDataPoint.DataLabels.IsValue = true;
   //Set legend.
   chart.HasLegend = true;
   chart.Legend.Position = OfficeLegendPosition.Bottom;
   //Set chart type.
   chart.ChartType = OfficeChartType.Combination_Chart;
   //Set secondary axis on right side.
   chart.SecondaryValueAxis.TickLabelPosition = OfficeTickLabelPosition.TickLabelPosition_High;
   //Create a file stream.
   using (FileStream outputFileStream = new FileStream(Path.GetFullPath(@"Output/Output.docx"), FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite))
   {
       //Save the Word document to the file stream.
       document.Save(outputFileStream, FormatType.Docx);
   }
}

You can download a complete working sample to set 2D array data values for a combination chart in a Word document from the GitHub.

By executing the program, you will get the Word document as follows.

Output Word document

Take a moment to peruse the documentation where you can find basic Word document processing options along with the features like mail merge, merge, split, and compare Word documents, find and replace text in the Word document, protect the Word documents, and most importantly, the PDF and Image conversions with code examples.
