Adding a Sparkline to a Cell

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

Sparkline in a Cell

Using Code

Specify a cell to create the sparkline in.
Specify a range of cells for the data.
Set any properties for the sparkline (such as points and colors).
Add the sparkline to the cell with the AddSparkline method.

Example

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

Using the Spread Designer

Type data in a cell or a column or row of cells in the designer.
Select a cell for the sparkline.
Select the Insert menu.
Select a sparkline type.
Set the Data Range in the Create Sparklines dialog (such as =Sheet1!$E$1:$E$3).
Select OK.
Select Apply and Exit from the File menu to save your changes and close the designer.
