Hello

Does someone have an example of generating a "Surface" (xlSurface) chart in Excel using perl.

All the examples talk about simple charts but not about Surface charts which are 3D charts..

...
my $Range = $Sheet->Range('a1:d5');
my $Chart = $Excel->Charts->Add;
$Chart->{ChartType} = xlSurface;  # <<<<<<==== I get an exception here
$Chart->SetSourceData({Source => $Range, PlotBy => xlColumns});
$Chart->{HasTitle} = 1;
$Chart->ChartTitle->{Text} = "Some Title";
...

The exception I get when running the script is:

Win32::OLE(0.1709) error 0x80020009: "Exception occurred"
    in PROPERTYPUT "ChartType" at sd_reporter.pl line 224

Any Hint?

Thanks in advance.
