in thread How to create a chart with data from database

Ok, after studying how the examples work, I have figured out how to map data to the chart, here is the code for my case:
$worksheet = $workbook->add_worksheet("Population Chart"); $worksheet->add_write_handler(qr[\w], \&store_string_widths); my $chart1 = $workbook->add_chart( type => 'bar', embedded => 1 ); # Configure the series. $chart1->add_series( categories => '=Summary!$A$2:$A$row', values => '=Summary!$G$2:$G$row', name => 'World Population', ); # Add another series. $chart1->add_series( categories => '=Summary!$A$2:$A$row', values => '=Summary!$F$2:$F$row', name => 'World Surface Area', ); # Add some labels. $chart1->set_title( name => 'Results of Population analysis' ); $chart1->set_x_axis( name => 'Countries' ); $chart1->set_y_axis( name => 'Population' ); # Insert the chart into the main worksheet. $worksheet->insert_chart( 'A2', $chart1 ); autofit_columns($worksheet);
Thank you everyone for your help.
