Bubble Charts

Bubble charts are similar to scatter charts but use a third dimension to determine the size of the bubbles. Charts can include multiple series.

from openpyxl import Workbook
from openpyxl.chart import Series, Reference, BubbleChart

wb = Workbook()
ws = wb.active

rows = [
    ("Number of Products", "Sales in USD", "Market share"),
    (14, 12200, 15),
    (20, 60000, 33),
    (18, 24400, 10),
    (22, 32000, 42),
    (),
    (12, 8200, 18),
    (15, 50000, 30),
    (19, 22400, 15),
    (25, 25000, 50),
]

for row in rows:
    ws.append(row)

chart = BubbleChart()
chart.style = 18 # use a preset style

# add the first series of data
xvalues = Reference(ws, min_col=1, min_row=2, max_row=5)
yvalues = Reference(ws, min_col=2, min_row=2, max_row=5)
size = Reference(ws, min_col=3, min_row=2, max_row=5)
series = Series(values=yvalues, xvalues=xvalues, zvalues=size, title="2013")
chart.series.append(series)

# add the second
xvalues = Reference(ws, min_col=1, min_row=7, max_row=10)
yvalues = Reference(ws, min_col=2, min_row=7, max_row=10)
size = Reference(ws, min_col=3, min_row=7, max_row=10)
series = Series(values=yvalues, xvalues=xvalues, zvalues=size, title="2014")
chart.series.append(series)

# place the chart starting in cell E1
ws.add_chart(chart, "E1")
wb.save("bubble.xlsx")

This will produce a bubble chart with two series and should look something like this:
