Create excel chart using Apache POI

Question

I need to create excel sheet from my Java code which contains charts like Bar chart, Line Chart etc using the Apache POI library. Is it possible? I am not able to find any u

Answer 1

This will be extremely complicated to do from scratch, as you will have to figure out what needs to go in the Excel file to create the charts. I would go a different route.

Create an Excel file that includes a macro that creates the Bar Chart etc for some data (using Excel in the usual way). Then use Apache POI to create a file with the data you want and start Excel from Java, executing the macro that creates the charts.
