Display charts in the spreadsheet control?

Online documentation mentions that the spreadsheet control supports various data visualizations including charts. However, opening an existing excel file with charts fails to display the charts and instead shows a null reference exception. I have also tried creating a chart grammatically using the IChartShape, but to no avail.

Is there any way to display charts in the sfspreadsheet?

To import chart into Spreadsheet, you need to add “ Syncfusion.SpreadsheetHelper.Windows.dll” assembly as reference and create an instance of Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.SpreadsheetHelper.GraphicChartCellRenderer and add that renderer into GraphicCellRenderers  collection by using the helper method AddGraphicChartCellRenderer which is available under the namespace “Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Spreadsheet.GraphicCells”  like the below code example, 
 
 
public MainWindow()
{
  InitializeComponent();
  //For importing charts, 
  this.spreadsheet.AddGraphicChartCellRenderer(new GraphicChartCellRenderer());
}

Please find the below UG links to display charts in SfSpreadsheet/Spreadsheet, 
 
For SfSpreadsheet(WPF),

If still you have problem in displaying charts, could you please share the excel file?
