Scatter Chart in Email Document Leave feedback

Note

In this article, we will use GroupDocs.Assembly to generate a Scatter Chart report in Email Document format.

Please following below steps to create Scatter Chart in MS Outlook 2013:

1. Create a new Email.
2. Click in the email where you want to insert the chart, click the “Insert” tab, and then click “Chart” in the illustrations group to open the “Insert Chart” dialog box.
3. Select “XY (Scatter)”.
4. Preview “Scatter” and press OK to insert the chart and Worksheet template to your email.
5. Edit the Worksheet with your data to update the chart.
6. Save the template.

As a report developer, you are required to show contract prices by month with the following key requirements:

• Report must be in .eml or .msg format.
• It must add email recipient, css and subject of the email.
• Report must show information on a Scatter Chart.
• It must indicate Price of each order by month.

Total Order Prices by Months<<foreach [in orders
.GroupBy(c => c.OrderDate.Month)]>>

Note

The example reads the shop data described in The Business Layer.

import json
from datetime import datetime

from groupdocs.assembly import DataSourceInfo, DocumentAssembler

def parse_dates(item):
    # JSON has no dates: turn the order dates into datetime objects for the template
    for key in ("OrderDate", "ShippingDate"):
        if key in item:
            item[key] = datetime.strptime(item[key], "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S")
    return item

with open("orders.json", encoding="utf-8") as f:
    orders = json.load(f, object_hook=parse_dates)

assembler = DocumentAssembler()
assembler.assemble_document("scatter-chart.msg", "scatter-chart-report.msg", [
    DataSourceInfo(orders, "orders"),
    DataSourceInfo("Harbor Lane Provisions <orders@harborlane.example>", "sender"),
    DataSourceInfo(["Quayside Bistro <orders@quaysidebistro.example>", "jonas.weber@harborlane.example"], "recipients"),
    DataSourceInfo("amara.osei@harborlane.example", "cc"),
    DataSourceInfo("Scatter chart", "subject"),
])
