Adding a Sparkline to a Cell

You can add a sparkline to a cell using code or the designer.

Column Sparkline

Using Code

  1. Specify a cell in which to create the sparkline.
  2. Specify a range of cells for the data.
  3. Set any properties for the sparkline (such as points and colors).
  4. Add the sparkline to the cell.

Example

This example creates a column sparkline in a cell and shows negative and series colors.

C#
Copy Code
FarPoint.Win.Spread.SheetView sv = new FarPoint.Win.Spread.SheetView();
FarPoint.Win.Spread.Chart.SheetCellRange data = new FarPoint.Win.Spread.Chart.SheetCellRange(sv, 0,0,1, 5);
FarPoint.Win.Spread.Chart.SheetCellRange data2 = new FarPoint.Win.Spread.Chart.SheetCellRange(sv, 5,0,1,1);
FarPoint.Win.Spread.ExcelSparklineSetting ex = new FarPoint.Win.Spread.ExcelSparklineSetting();
ex.ShowMarkers = true;
ex.ShowNegative = true;
ex.NegativeColor = Color.Red;
// Use with a Column or Winloss type
ex.SeriesColor = Color.Olive;
fpSpread1.Sheets[0] = sv;
sv.Cells[0, 0].Value = 2;
sv.Cells[0, 1].Value = 5;
sv.Cells[0, 2].Value = 4;
sv.Cells[0, 3].Value = -1;
sv.Cells[0, 4].Value = 3;
fpSpread1.Sheets[0].AddSparkline(data, data2, FarPoint.Win.Spread.SparklineType.Column, ex);
VB
Copy Code
Dim sv As New FarPoint.Win.Spread.SheetView()
Dim data As New FarPoint.Win.Spread.Chart.SheetCellRange(sv, 0, 0, 1, 5)
Dim data2 As New FarPoint.Win.Spread.Chart.SheetCellRange(sv, 5, 0, 1, 1)
Dim ex As New FarPoint.Win.Spread.ExcelSparklineSetting()
ex.ShowMarkers = True
ex.ShowNegative = True
ex.NegativeColor = Color.Red
' Use with a Column or Winloss type
ex.SeriesColor = Color.Olive
FpSpread1.Sheets(0) = sv
sv.Cells(0, 0).Value = 2
sv.Cells(0, 1).Value = 5
sv.Cells(0, 2).Value = 4
sv.Cells(0, 3).Value = -1
sv.Cells(0, 4).Value = 3
FpSpread1.Sheets(0).AddSparkline(data, data2, FarPoint.Win.Spread.SparklineType.Column, ex)

Using the Spread Designer

  1. Type data in a cell or a column or row of cells in the designer.
  2. Select a cell for the sparkline.
  3. Select the Insert menu.
  4. Select a sparkline type.
  5. Set the Data Range in the Edit Sparklines dialog (such as =Sheet1!$E$1:$E$3). You can also set the range by selecting the cells in the range using the pointer.
  6. Select OK.
  7. Select Apply and Exit from the File menu to save your changes and close the designer.
