//Adding a sample value to "A2" cell
worksheet.Cells["A2"].PutValue(100);

//Adding a sample value to "A3" cell

//Adding a sample value to "B1" cell
worksheet.Cells["B1"].PutValue(60);

//Adding a sample value to "B2" cell
worksheet.Cells["B2"].PutValue(32);

//Adding a sample value to "B3" cell
worksheet.Cells["B3"].PutValue(50);

//Adding a chart to the worksheet
int chartIndex = worksheet.Charts.Add(ChartType.Column, 5, 0, 15, 5);

//Accessing the instance of the newly added chart
Chart chart = worksheet.Charts[chartIndex];

//Adding NSeries (chart data source) to the chart ranging from "A1" cell to "B3"
chart.NSeries.Add("A1:B3", true);

//Getting Chart Area
ChartArea chartArea = chart.ChartArea;

//Setting the foreground color of the chart area
chartArea.Area.ForegroundColor = Color.Yellow;

//Setting Chart Area Shadow
chartArea.Shadow = true;

//Saving the Excel file
