Plotting a graph in Excel file using C#.Net.

[Narendar123P]

Hi all,
I am trying to plot a graph in excel file using C#.Net.
I am using the name space excel .
If my graph has one series(2 columns), i am able to draw the graph.
if my graph has two series(4 columns), i am unable to draw the correct graph.
In this case i need graph with 2 series, one with first and second column
and the second one with third and fourth columns. But i am getting 3 curves,
one is for first and second column
second is for first and third column
third is for first and fourth column, which i dont want.

please clarify my problem if you hav answers.
Thanks in advance
Bye

xla = new Excel.Applicati on();
xla.Visible = true;
Workbook wb = xla.Workbooks.A dd(XlSheetType. xlWorksheet);
Worksheet ws = (Worksheet)xla. ActiveSheet;


ChartObjects chartObjs = (ChartObjects)w s.ChartObjects( Type.Missing);
ChartObject chartObj = chartObjs.Add(1 00, 20, 300, 300);
Chart xlChart = chartObj.Chart;
int[,] v1 ={ { 1, 2 ,5, 10}, { 2, 4,10, 20 }, { 3, 6 ,15,30} };
Range rg;
rg = ws.get_Range("A 2", "D4");
rg.Value2 = v1;

xlChart.ChartTy pe = XlChartType.xlX YScatterSmoothN oMarkers;
xlChart.SetSour ceData(rg, Type.Missing);

in place of int[,] v1 ={ { 1, 2 ,5, 10}, { 2, 4,10, 20 }, { 3, 6 ,15,30} };(of my previous post), if i give int[,] v1 ={ { 1, 2 }, { 2, 4 }, { 3, 6} };, i am able to get
the curve. If i give int[,] v1 ={ { 1, 2 ,5, 10}, { 2, 4,10, 20 }, { 3, 6 ,15,30} };
i am getting 3 curves for the points
first curve (1,2),(2,4),(3, 6)
second curve (1,5),(2,10),(3 ,15)
Third curve (1,10),(2,20),( 3,30)
which i dont require.

What i require is

two curves
first one (1,2),(2,4),(3, 6)
second curve (5,10),(10,20), (15,30)

Hi,

Ok so this is what you should do:
1.create a seriescollectio n cause you have several series (plots/lines) in one excel chart
2.create the seperate series
3. assign the values for each series.

Excel.SeriesCollection seriesCollection;
Excel.Series series1, series2;
 
//this create the seriescollection and series
seriesCollection = xlChart.SeriesCollection(misValue)
series1 = seriesCollection.NewSeries();
series2 = seriesCollection.NewSeries();
 
//this gives each series the values. values are y values, xvalues are x values 
series1.Values = ws.get_Range("A1", "A4") //assuming y values are in column //A, change range according to which column your values are
series2.XValues = ws.get_Range("B1", "B4") //if x values are in column B
 
//repeat for series2
