Line charts allow data to be plotted against a fixed axis. They are similar to scatter charts, the main difference is that with line charts each data series is plotted against the same values. Different kinds of axes can be used for the secondary axes.

Similar to bar charts there are three kinds of line charts: standard, stacked and percentStacked.

from datetime import date
from openpyxl import Workbook
from openpyxl.chart import (
    LineChart,
    Reference,

from openpyxl.chart.axis import DateAxis
wb = Workbook()
ws = wb.active
rows = [
    ['Date', 'Batch 1', 'Batch 2', 'Batch 3'],
    [date(2015,9, 1), 40, 30, 25],
    [date(2015,9, 2), 40, 25, 30],
    [date(2015,9, 3), 50, 30, 45],
    [date(2015,9, 4), 30, 25, 40],
    [date(2015,9, 5), 25, 35, 30],
    [date(2015,9, 6), 20, 40, 35],
]
for row in rows:
    ws.append(row)

3D 行图表 ¶

In 3D line charts the third axis is the same as the legend for the series.
