# Charts

 
# 1. Create a Reference object from a rectan­gular selection of cells.
# 2. Create a Series object by passing in the Reference object.
# 3. Create a Chart object.
# 4. Append the Series object to the Chart object.
# 5. Add the Chart object to the Worksheet object, optionally specifying which cell should be
# the top-left corner of the chart.
# Ex.: BarChart()

# Get the row, column, coordinate from the cell
