How can we convert the Excel chart to chart control?

1 min read

We do not have direct support for converting Excel charts to chart controls. However, we can do it manually by using both XlsIO and Essential Chart. You can enumerate the elements of an XlsIO chart and draw the chart with the equivalent chart using Essential Chart. The code below illustrates the basic conversion of an XlsIO Chart to an Essential Chart:

IChart chart = workbook.Charts.Add();
this.chartControl1.Text = chart.ChartTitle;
for (int i =0; i < chart.Series.Count; i++)
{
ChartSeries ser = new ChartSeries();
int h = 0;
int col=chart.Series[i].Values.Column;
for (int j = chart.Series[i].Values.Row; j < chart.Series[i].Values.Count + chart.Series[i].Values.Row; j++)
{
h++;
ser.Points.Add(h,chart.Series[i].Values[j, col].Number);
}
ser.Style.Interior = new
ser.Name = ser.Text = chart.Series[i].Name;
this.chartControl1.Series.Add(ser);
}

Dim chart As IChart = workbook.Charts.Add()
Me.chartControl1.Text = chart.ChartTitle
For i As Integer = 0 To chart.Series.Count - 1
Dim ser As ChartSeries = New ChartSeries()
Dim h As Integer = 0
Dim col As Integer = chart.Series(i).Values.Column
For j As Integer = chart.Series(i).Values.Row To chart.Series(i).Values.Count + chart.Series(i).Values.Row - 1
h += 1
ser.Points.Add(h,chart.Series(i).Values(j, col).Number)
Next j
ser.Text = chart.Series(i).Name
Dim TempName As ser.Name = New ser.Name = ser.Text
ser.Style.Interior = New ser.Name
Me.chartControl1.Series.Add(ser)
Next i
