Create a Waterfall Chart in Excel in Java

Waterfall charts are ideal for analyzing financial statements. To create a waterfall chart, you could first add a chart to a specified worksheet using Worksheet.getCharts().add() method, and then set the chart type to Waterfall using Chart.setChartType(ExcelChartType.WaterFall) method. The following are the detailed steps.

Create a Workbook instance.
Load a sample Excel document using Workbook.loadFromFile() method.
Get a specified worksheet by its index using Workbook.getWorksheets().get() method.
Add a chart to the worksheet Worksheet.getCharts().add() method, and then set the chart type to waterfall using Chart.setChartType(ExcelChartType.WaterFall) method.
Set data range for the chart using Chart.setDataRange() method.
Set position and title of the chart.
Get a specified data series of the chart, and then set specific data points in the chart as totals or subtotals using ChartSerie.getDataPoints().get().setAsTotal() method.
Show the connector lines between data points using ChartSerie.getFormat().showConnectorLines(true) method.
Show data labels for data points, and set the legend position of the chart.
Save the result document using Workbook.saveToFile() method.

Java

import com.spire.xls.*;

public class WaterfallChart {
    public static void main(String []args){
        //Create a Workbook object
        Workbook workbook=new Workbook();

        //Load a sample Excel document
        workbook.loadFromFile("data.xlsx");

        //Get the first worksheet
        Worksheet sheet=workbook.getWorksheets().get(0);

        //Add a waterfall chart to the worksheet
        Chart chart=sheet.getCharts().add();
        chart.setChartType(ExcelChartType.WaterFall);

        //Set data range for the chart
        chart.setDataRange(sheet.getRange().get("A2:B11"));

        //Set position of the chart
        chart.setLeftColumn(4);
        chart.setTopRow(2);
        chart.setRightColumn(15);
        chart.setBottomRow(23);

        //Set chart title
        chart.setChartTitle("Income Statement");

        //Set specific data points in the chart as totals or subtotals
        chart.getSeries().get(0).getDataPoints().get(2).setAsTotal(true);
        chart.getSeries().get(0).getDataPoints().get(7).setAsTotal(true);
        chart.getSeries().get(0).getDataPoints().get(9).setAsTotal(true);

        //Show the connector lines between data points
        chart.getSeries().get(0).getFormat().showConnectorLines(true);

        //Show data labels for data points
        chart.getSeries().get(0).getDataPoints().getDefaultDataPoint().getDataLabels().hasValue(true);
        chart.getSeries().get(0).getDataPoints().getDefaultDataPoint().getDataLabels().setSize(8);

        //Set the legend position of the chart
        chart.getLegend().setPosition(LegendPositionType.Top);

        //Save the result document
        workbook.saveToFile("WaterfallChart.xlsx",FileFormat.Version2016);
    }

Create a Clustered Bar Chart in Excel

In clustered bar chart, data values of different series are displayed in separate bars side-by-side, which allows a direct comparison of multiple data series per category. The following are the detailed steps to create a clustered bar chart in an Excel worksheet.

Create an instance of Workbook class.
Get a specified worksheet by its index using Workbook.getWorksheets().get() method.
Add some data to specified cells and set the cell styles.
Add a 2D clustered bar chart to the specified worksheet using Worksheet.getCharts().add(ExcelChartType.BarClustered) method.
Set data range for the chart using Chart.setDataRange(CellRange dataRange) method.
Set the position and title of the chart.
Get the primary category axis of the chart using Chart.getPrimaryCategoryAxis() method, and then set the display text and title of the category axis using the methods under ChartCategoryAxis class.
Get the primary value axis of the chart using Chart.getPrimaryValueAxis() method, and then set the title, minimum value and major gridlines of the value axis using the methods under ChartValueAxis class.
Loop through the data series of the chart, and then show data labels for the data points of each data series by setting the value of ChartSerie.getDataPoints().getDefaultDataPoint().getDataLabels().hasValue() method to true.
Set the position of chart legend using Chart.getLegend().setPosition() method.
Save the result file using Workbook.saveToFile() method.

The following are the detailed steps to create a stacked bar chart in an Excel worksheet.

Create an instance of Workbook class.
Get a specified worksheet by its index using Workbook.getWorksheets().get() method.
Add some data to specified cells and set the cell styles.
Add a 2D stacked bar chart to the specified worksheet using Worksheet.getCharts().add(ExcelChartType.BarStacked) method.
Set data range for the chart using Chart.setDataRange(CellRange dataRange) method.
Set position, title, category axis title and value axis title for the chart.
Loop through the data series of the chart, and then show data labels for the data points of each data series by setting the value of ChartSerie.getDataPoints().getDefaultDataPoint().getDataLabels().hasValue() method to true.
Set the position of chart legend using Chart.getLegend().setPosition() method.
Save the result file using Workbook.saveToFile() method.

Add Data Table to Excel Chart in Java

In Excel, we could use charts to visualize and compare data. However, once the charts are created, it becomes much difficult for us to read the data precisely from charts, adding a data table below the chart is a good solution. This article is going to introduce how to add a data table to an Excel chart in Java using Spire.XLS for Java.

import com.spire.xls.*;
import com.spire.xls.charts.ChartSerie;

public class AddDataTableToChart {
    public static void main(String[] args){
        //Create a new workbook
        Workbook workbook = new Workbook();
        //Get the first worksheet
        Worksheet sheet = workbook.getWorksheets().get(0);
        //Set sheet name
        sheet.setName("Demo");

        //Add Data to the sheet
        sheet.getRange().get("A1").setValue("Month");
        sheet.getRange().get("A2").setValue("Jan.");
        sheet.getRange().get("A3").setValue("Feb.");
        sheet.getRange().get("A4").setValue("Mar.");
        sheet.getRange().get("A5").setValue("Apr.");
        sheet.getRange().get("A6").setValue("May.");
        sheet.getRange().get("A7").setValue("Jun.");
        sheet.getRange().get("B1").setValue("Peter");
        sheet.getRange().get("B2").setNumberValue(3.3);
        sheet.getRange().get("B3").setNumberValue(2.5);
        sheet.getRange().get("B4").setNumberValue(2.0);
        sheet.getRange().get("B5").setNumberValue(3.7);
        sheet.getRange().get("B6").setNumberValue(4.5);
        sheet.getRange().get("B7").setNumberValue(4.0);
        sheet.getRange().get("C1").setValue("George");
        sheet.getRange().get("C2").setNumberValue(3.8);
        sheet.getRange().get("C3").setNumberValue(3.2);
        sheet.getRange().get("C4").setNumberValue(1.7);
        sheet.getRange().get("C5").setNumberValue(3.5);
        sheet.getRange().get("C6").setNumberValue(4.5);
        sheet.getRange().get("C7").setNumberValue(4.3);
        sheet.getRange().get("D1").setValue("Macbeth");
        sheet.getRange().get("D2").setNumberValue(3.0);
        sheet.getRange().get("D3").setNumberValue(2.8);
        sheet.getRange().get("D4").setNumberValue(3.5);
        sheet.getRange().get("D5").setNumberValue(2.3);
        sheet.getRange().get("D6").setNumberValue(3.3);
        sheet.getRange().get("D7").setNumberValue(3.8);

        //Add a chart to the sheet
        Chart chart = sheet.getCharts().add(ExcelChartType.ColumnClustered);
        //Set chart data
        chart.setDataRange(sheet.getRange().get("B1:D7"));
        chart.setSeriesDataFromRange(false);
        //Set chart position
        chart.setTopRow(8);
        chart.setBottomRow(28);
        chart.setLeftColumn(3);
        chart.setRightColumn(11);
        //Set chart title
        chart.setChartTitle("Chart with Data Table");
        chart.getChartTitleArea().isBold(true);
        chart.getChartTitleArea().setSize(12);
        //Set category labels for the first series of the chart
        ChartSerie cs1 = chart.getSeries().get(0);
        cs1.setCategoryLabels(sheet.getRange().get("A2:A7"));

        //Add data table to the chart
        chart.hasDataTable(true);

        //Save the result file
        workbook.saveToFile("AddDataTable.xlsx", ExcelVersion.Version2010);
    }
}

Java: Create a Pie Chart or a Doughnut Chart in Excel

A pie chart is a circular chart divided into sectors, and each sector represents a proportionate part of the whole. It presents data in the form of graphs, which makes it easy for users to analyze and compare data. As for the doughnut chart, it performs the same function as the pie chart, except that it has a "hole" in the center. This article will demonstrate how to programmatically create a pie chart or a doughnut chart in Excel using Spire.XLS for Java.
