chart.TopLeftCell = worksheet.Cells["D2"];
chart.BottomRightCell = worksheet.Cells["K18"];

// Specify histogram series options.
var options = chart.Series[0].LayoutOptions.Histogram;
options.BinType = HistogramBinType.BinWidth;
options.BinWidth = 20;
// Create the overflow bin
// for all values that are above 90.
options.OverflowType = HistogramOverflowType.Fixed;
options.OverflowValue = 90;

// Specify the gap width.
