Why excel?

Google JFreeChart.

well,i wish i could use that.But we're using excel to display the same data in tabular form that needs to be shown in graphs.So i'm asked to do it in excel.

If you are producing an excel with the data, why cannot the user simply let excel generate the graph?

You are too tied up with Excel here.

In any case, try POI HSSF/XSSF or Andy Khan's jxl.
