In this guide you will learn how to create a Bubble3D chart in Excel using C# with Aspose.Cells for .NET. The provided code is fully runnable and can be integrated into any .NET project that requires automated chart generation.

Create a Bubble3D Chart in Excel using C#

Below is a complete, ready‑to‑run C# example that demonstrates how to:

  1. Create a new workbook.
  2. Populate a worksheet with sample data (Category, X‑Value, Y‑Value, Bubble‑Size).
  3. Insert a Bubble3D chart.
  4. Bind the chart to the data range.
  5. Customize the chart title, axis titles, and 3‑D rotation.
  6. Save the workbook.

Explanation of the key steps

StepPurpose
1Instantiates a new Workbook and accesses the default worksheet.
2Populates the sheet with sample sales data (region, revenue, profit, market share).
3Adds a Bubble3D chart object to a defined cell range.
4Sets descriptive titles for the chart and each axis, improving readability.
5Binds the chart series to the appropriate cell ranges: categories, X‑values, Y‑values, and bubble sizes.
6Adjusts the 3‑D rotation and customizes bubble appearance (color, transparency, border).
7Saves the workbook to disk. The resulting file can be opened in Excel, Google Sheets, or any viewer that supports XLSX.

Run the program, open the generated Bubble3DChart_Output.xlsx, and you will see a colorful 3‑D bubble chart that clearly illustrates how revenue, profit, and market share vary across regions.
