Something that I had to debug today was a case where the raw data for a chart contained duplicate series names. When I created the chart in PowerPoint using Aspose.Slides it did work but the chart data workbook does not open.
It was be nice if the library detected when a duplicate series name is added and threw an exception.
Hi Shaun,
I have observed the issue statement shared by you and request you to please provide the source presentation, sample code and generated presentation reproducing the issue. I will be able to investigate the issue further on my end on provision of requested information.
Many Thanks,
Code is straightforward. Taking the 3 default series and giving them the same name.
Output file attached. The data workbook will not load.
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
final Presentation pres = new Presentation();
final IChart c = pres.getSlides()
.get_Item(0)
.getShapes()
.addChart(
ChartType.ClusteredColumn,
0, 0, 720, 540);
final IChartData data = c.getChartData();
final IChartDataWorkbook wb = data.getChartDataWorkbook();
wb.getCell(0, 0, 1, “Identical Series Name”);
wb.getCell(0, 0, 2, “Identical Series Name”);
wb.getCell(0, 0, 3, “Identical Series Name”);
pres.save(“D:/test.pptx”, SaveFormat.Pptx);
Desktop.getDesktop().open(new File(“D:/test.pptx”));
}
