Explanation of the Code
| Step | What the code does |
|---|---|
| 1 | Creates a new Workbook and obtains the first Worksheet. |
| 2 | Writes a header row and four rows of quarterly sales data for three products. |
| 3 | Adds a Bar3DClustered chart positioned below the data table. |
| 4 | Adds three series (one per product) that reference the data range for each product. |
| 5 | Sets the category axis to the quarter labels, adds axis titles, removes the background fill of the plot area, and adjusts the bar gap width for visual emphasis. |
