Report Generation Toolkit should create EXCEL Graphs, not MsChart objects !

Status: Declined

Any idea that has received less than 5 kudos within 5 years after posting will be automatically declined.

Hello,

 

I often have to use report generation toolkit in order to generate EXCEL reports.

This is a very easy way to generate userfriendly test reports.

 

But, the API of the EXCEL report generation toolkit should be improved, in order to be abble to insert real Excel graphs in the excel sheets.

 

For the moment, when you want to insert a graph in Excel, this is done by inserting a MSChart object.

 

The problem is that a MSChart object is not an Excel graph !

There is no link between the data inserted into Excel and the MsChart graph object.

A MsChart object contain all the data necessary to draw the graph.

 

It should be interesting to had the ability to create real EXCEL graphs ... with a link betweend the data inserted in a sheet and the graph.

So it should be possible to have access to data modifications directly reflected on the EXCEL graphs.

 

Thanks a lot.

(And sorry for my approximate english)
