Scatter Chart in Spreadsheet Document Leave feedback

Note

In this article, we will use GroupDocs.Assembly to generate a Scatter Chart report in Spreadsheet Document format based on the use case: Working with a Business Case.

Note

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

Please follow below steps to create Scatter Chart in MS Excel 2013:

1. Add a new Workbook.
2. Click in the workbook where you want to insert the chart, click the “Insert” tab, and then click “Insert Scatter Chart Icon” in the charts group.
3. A drop-down with charts will appear, select the “Scatter” and press “OK” to insert the chart.
4. Click on the chart you just inserted, then click the “Change Data” icon in Data group.
5. Now add legend entries. See Chart Data.
6. Save your Document.

As a report developer, you are required to show your customers’ orders prices by month with the following key requirements:

• Report must show information on a Scatter Chart.
• It must indicate Price of each order by month.
• Report must be generated in the Spreadsheet Document.

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

Legend Entries

="Total Order Price<<x [Key]>><<y [Sum(c => c.Price)]>>"

Please download the sample Scatter Chart document we created in this article:

• scatter-chart.xlsx

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.xlsx", "scatter-chart-report.xlsx", DataSourceInfo(orders, "orders"))
