//Adding a chart to the worksheet
$chartIndex = $worksheet->getCharts()->add(cells\ChartType::COLUMN, 5, 0, 25, 5);
//Accessing the instance of the newly added chart
$chart = $worksheet->getCharts()->get($chartIndex);
//Adding NSeries (chart data source) to the chart ranging from "A1" cell to "B3"
$chart->getNSeries()->add("A1:B3", true);
//Set the max value of value axis
$chart->getValueAxis()->setMaxValue(200);
