How to create chart in google sheets with javascript?
Question
I am using javascript to create Google-sheets-document with user data. The document is saved on the user's Drive. I can't figure out how to make a graph from the data i have inserted. I am using vanilla javascript with the Google sheets API. It would probably look something like this:
function createGraph() {
gapi.client.sheets.graph
.create({
properties: {
type(?): 'Pie'
spreadsheetid: //some id
range: 'A1:A10'
},
})
}
EDIT: To specify, i want to insert the graph to the sheets-document that i have created, not to the website.

Refer this example
<html> <head> <!--Load the AJAX API--> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.gstatic.com/charts/loader.js" ></script> <script type="text/javascript"> var data; var chart; // Load the Visualization API and the piechart package. google.charts.load("current", { packages: ["corechart"] }); // Set a callback to run when the Google Visualization API is loaded. google.charts.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart); // Callback that creates and populates a data table, // instantiates the pie chart, passes in the data and // draws it. function drawChart() { // Create our data table. data = new google.visualization.DataTable(); data.addColumn("string", "Topping"); data.addColumn("number", "Slices"); data.addRows([ ["Mushrooms", 3], ["Onions", 1], ["Olives", 1], ["Zucchini", 1], ["Pepperoni", 2] ]); // Set chart options var options = { title: "How Much Pizza I Ate Last Night", width: 400, height: 300 }; // Instantiate and draw our chart, passing in some options. chart = new google.visualization.PieChart( document.getElementById("chart_div") ); chart.draw(data, options); } </script> </head> <body> <!--Div that will hold the pie chart--> <div id="chart_div" style="width: 400; height: 300;"></div> </body> </html>

If you want to add the chart to your spreadsheet, you can use Sheets API's AddChartRequest , as part of the spreadsheets.batchUpdate method.
Code snippet:
On broad terms, your request would look like this (check the reference below in order to build the request body in detail):
const payload = {
"requests": [
{
"addChart": {
"chart": {
"spec": { // Chart type, range source, etc.
"pieChart": { // Pie chart specification
// object (PieChartSpec)
}
// rest of ChartSpec properties
},
"position": { // Where the chart will be located
// object (EmbeddedObjectPosition)
}
}
}
}
]
}
const params = {
spreadsheetId = "YOUR-SPREADSHEET-ID",
body = payload
}
gapi.client.sheets.spreadsheets.batchUpdate(params);
Render chart in browsers and mobile devices:
In case you just wanted to render the chart in a browser, but not add it to your spreadsheet, you would use Google Charts (see Visualization: Pie Chart , for example).

I solved it. Thanks for the help! This worked for me.
function createGraphv2(spreadsheetIdGraph, endIndex) {
var params = {
// The spreadsheet to apply the updates to.
spreadsheetId: spreadsheetIdGraph, // TODO: Update placeholder value.
};
var batchUpdateSpreadsheetRequestBody = {
// A list of updates to apply to the spreadsheet.
// Requests will be applied in the order they are specified.
// If any request is not valid, no requests will be applied.
requests: [
{
addChart: {
chart: {
spec: {
title: 'Rapport',
basicChart: {
chartType: 'COLUMN',
legendPosition: 'BOTTOM_LEGEND',
axis: [
//X-AXIS
{
position: "BOTTOM_AXIS",
title: "FORBRUK"
},
//Y-AXIS
{
position: "LEFT_AXIS",
title: "TID"
}
],
series: [
{
series: {
sourceRange: {
sources: [
{
sheetId: 0,
startRowIndex: 0,
endRowIndex: endIndex,
startColumnIndex: 5,
endColumnIndex: 6,
},
],
},
},
targetAxis: "LEFT_AXIS"
}
]
}
},
position : {
newSheet : 'True'
}
},
}
}
],
// TODO: Add desired properties to the request body.
};
var request = gapi.client.sheets.spreadsheets.batchUpdate(
params,
batchUpdateSpreadsheetRequestBody
);
request.then(
function (response) {
// TODO: Change code below to process the `response` object:
console.log(response.result);
},
function (reason) {
console.error("error: " + reason.result.error.message);
}
);
}
