in reply to Re^3: How to create a chart with data from database
in thread How to create a chart with data from database

The sample script defines data for the cahrt as under

# Add the worksheet data that the charts will refer to. my $headings = [ 'Category', 'Values 1', 'Values 2' ]; my $data = [ [ 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ], [ 1, 4, 5, 2, 1, 5 ], [ 3, 6, 7, 5, 4, 3 ], ]; $worksheet->write( 'A1', $headings, $bold ); $worksheet->write( 'A2', $data );

Question

How do I map my data that is retrieved from the database to the chart ?

Regards

Terry

    You already have data from database, there is no more mapping left

    How do I map my data that is retrieved from the database to the chart ?

    Do you have microsoft excel installed? Have you ever created a chart using microsoft excel? Have you read http://search.cpan.org/dist/Spreadsheet-WriteExcel/lib/Spreadsheet/WriteExcel.pm#Cell notation

    I suggest you drop what you're doing and create a chart using the GUI tools so you can see what is involved

    I don't have excel so I cant help
