    The sample script defines data for the cahrt as under

    # Add the worksheet data that the charts will refer to.
my $headings = [ 'Category', 'Values 1', 'Values 2' ];
my $data = [
    [ 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ],
    [ 1, 4, 5, 2, 1, 5 ],
    [ 3, 6, 7, 5, 4, 3 ],
];

$worksheet->write( 'A1', $headings, $bold );
$worksheet->write( 'A2', $data );

      You already have data from database, there is no more mapping left

      How do I map my data that is retrieved from the database to the chart ?

      Do you have microsoft excel installed? Have you ever created a chart using microsoft excel? Have you read http://search.cpan.org/dist/Spreadsheet-WriteExcel/lib/Spreadsheet/WriteExcel.pm#Cell notation

      I suggest you drop what you're doing and create a chart using the GUI tools so you can see what is involved

      I don't have excel so I cant help
