sheetIndex = workbook.getWorksheets().add()
# Obtaining the reference of the newly added worksheet by passing its sheet index
worksheet = workbook.getWorksheets().get(sheetIndex)
# Adding a sample value to "A1" cell
worksheet.getCells().get("A1").putValue(50)
# Adding a sample value to "A2" cell
worksheet.getCells().get("A2").putValue(100)
# Adding a sample value to "A3" cell
worksheet.getCells().get("A3").putValue(150)
# Adding a sample value to "B1" cell
worksheet.getCells().get("B1").putValue(4)
# Adding a sample value to "B2" cell
worksheet.getCells().get("B2").putValue(20)
# Adding a sample value to "B3" cell
worksheet.getCells().get("B3").putValue(50)
# Adding a chart to the worksheet
chartIndex = worksheet.getCharts().add(ChartType.COLUMN, 5, 0, 25, 5)
# Accessing the instance of the newly added chart
chart = worksheet.getCharts().get(chartIndex)
# Adding NSeries (chart data source) to the chart ranging from "A1" cell to "B3"
chart.getNSeries().add("A1:B3", True)
# Set the max value of value axis
chart.getValueAxis().setMaxValue(200)
# Set the min value of value axis
chart.getValueAxis().setMinValue(0)
# Set the major unit
chart.getValueAxis().setMajorUnit(25)
# Category(X) axis crosses at the maxinum value.
chart.getValueAxis().setCrossType(CrossType.MAXIMUM)
# Set he number of categories or series between tick-mark labels. 
chart.getCategoryAxis().setTickLabelSpacing(2)
# Saving the Excel file
workbook.save("Book1.xlsx")
