Besure you have guidelines and snap is turned on to the highest. I'd just draw the outer box, determine how many lines I'd need/ in the box width measurement on the Property Bar enter "/" after the measurement being sure the constraining lock is unlocked. The "/" represented divide by. Then inter the number of spaces you want to divide this space by. Suppose you need 10 spaces, then divide by 10. Move this box to the top of your chart. Using the transform docker, duplicate this rectangle 9 times down the page with it's height measurement as a negative number. You now have a perfectly spaced box.
Alternate methode is to use the blend tool with two horizontal lines, one at the top, the other at the bottom, figure out how many intermediate lines you need and in the box which defaults to "20", enter this figure. You now have evenly spaced horizontal lines. Since you usually don't need that many lines and they are often not even spaces across vertically, just hold down the ctrl key and draw a line from top to bottom. The ctrl key assures you draw a perfect vertical or horizontal line. Then select the line, drag and right click to copy the line wherever you need it. Your chart is complete except for text.
CorelDRAW is capable of work decorative charts and graphs than Excel. Embedded documents in a DRAW document are possible, but if you are working for print, it is better often to bring it in as a .pdf and break the association with Excel especially when dealing with color, spot color especially.

Every day's a new day, "draw" on what you've learned.
