Create a RadarFilled Chart in Excel using C#
Below are two complete examples. The first one shows the basic creation of a RadarFilled chart, while the second demonstrates customization (fill colors, markers, axis titles, etc.).
Basic RadarFilled Chart
Explanation
| Step | What it does |
|---|---|
| 1‑2 | Instantiates a new workbook and obtains the first worksheet. |
| 3 | Writes sample metric data into cells A1:C6. |
| 4 | Inserts a RadarFilled chart positioned at rows 8‑28 and columns 0‑15. |
| 5 | Adds two series – one for each car – and binds them to the corresponding data ranges. |
| 6 | Saves the workbook as RadarFilledChart_Basic.xlsx. |
Running the program produces an Excel file that contains a filled radar chart visualizing the two cars’ performance across the five metrics.
Customizing the RadarFilled Chart
The following example extends the basic chart by applying custom fill colors, markers, and axis titles.
What’s new in this version?
- Custom fill colors (
Area.ForegroundColor) give each series a distinct visual identity. - Markers (
Marker.MarkerStyleandMarker.MarkerSize) highlight individual data points. - Axis titles add context to the radar dimensions.
- Border removal (
PlotArea.Border.IsVisible = false) creates a sleek appearance.
Feel free to tweak the color values, marker styles, or chart dimensions to match your branding.
