Aspose::Cells::Charts::Series::GetCategoryValues method

Series::GetCategoryValues method

Gets the actual category values that are used to plot every point of this series in the chart.

Vector<Vector<ChartDataValue>> Aspose::Cells::Charts::Series::GetCategoryValues()

Remarks

This property provides one convenient way to get the actual values corresponding to the data defined by Series.XValues, especially when the specified data source is external link, formula, …etc.

Examples

Aspose::Cells::Startup();
Workbook workbook(u"ExternalSourceChart.xlsx");
Worksheet worksheet = workbook.GetWorksheets().Get(0);
Chart chart = worksheet.GetCharts().Get(0);
chart.Calculate();
U16String XValues = chart.GetNSeries().Get(0).GetXValues();
// XValues may be like "[External.xlsx]Sheet1!$B$2:$C$6" which is complicated
// for user to get the actual values(the values may be linked to another workbook,
// or cached in current workbook). Here you can use CategoryValues property
// to get the category values actually displayed in the Excel interface
// in the form of a two-dimensional array.
//Vector<Vector<ChartDataValue>> v1 = chart.GetNSeries().Get(0).GetCategoryValues();
