# sample data
chart_data = [

# add worksheet to workbook
worksheet = workbook.add_worksheet()

row_ = 0
col_ = 0

# write headers
worksheet.write(row_, col_, 'NAME')
col_ += 1
worksheet.write(row_, col_, 'VALUE')
row_ += 1

# write sample data 
for item in chart_data:
    col_ = 0
    worksheet.write(row_, col_, item['name'])
    col_ += 1
    worksheet.write(row_, col_, item['value'])
    row_ += 1

# create pie chart
pie_chart = workbook.add_chart({'type': 'pie'})

# add series to pie chart
pie_chart.add_series({
    'name': 'Series Name',
    'categories': '=Sheet1!$A$3:$A$%s' % row_,
    'values': '=Sheet1!$B$3:$B$%s' % row_,
    'marker': {'type': 'circle'}
})
# insert pie chart
worksheet.insert_chart('D2', pie_chart)

# create column chart
column_chart = workbook.add_chart({'type': 'column'})

# add serie to column chart
column_chart.add_series({
    'name': 'Series Name',
    'categories': '=Sheet1!$A$3:$A$%s' % row_,
    'values': '=Sheet1!$B$3:$B$%s' % row_,
    'marker': {'type': 'circle'}
