Excel is one of the best applications with which you can turn complex data into an attractive and understandable chart. An Excel chart can be a spectacular visualization for a presentation or report. In this article, we will show three ways to save an Excel chart in a separate graphic file, for example, .bmp, .jpg or . Pngin order to further use it for any purpose.
1. Copy to a graphics editor. Graphic objects can be directly copied from Excel to graphic editors such as Microsoft Paint, Adobe Photoshop, or Adobe Fireworks. This is often the easiest way to save a chart as a picture. Copy the diagram to the clipboard, to do this, right-click on its frame and select from the context menu Copy (Copy).
Note: You need to click exactly on the diagram frame, and not inside the construction area and not on any of its elements, otherwise only this element will be copied, and not the entire diagram.
After that, open your graphics editor and paste the diagram by right-clicking and selecting from the context menu Insert (Paste), or by pressing the keys Ctrl + V.
2. Export to another Office application. Pictures from Excel can be exported to any Microsoft Office application that supports image manipulation. For example, in PowerPoint or in Word. Just copy the diagram and paste it exactly as described in the first method. If desired, you can keep the link of the copied diagram with the original data. To do this, insert a chart through the context menu that opens by right-clicking, and in the paste options, select Keep original formatting and link data (Keep Source Formatting & Link Data).
Remember: A significant advantage, and in some situations a significant disadvantage of this method, is that a chart inserted in Word or PowerPoint retains its relationship with the data in the Excel document and will change if this data changes.
3. Save the chart as a picture in Excel. This solution is the best when you want to save as pictures all the charts contained in an Excel document. Completing this task with the first or second of the methods suggested above can take quite a long time. In fact, this can be done in one step. Open a tab File (File) and click Save as (Save as). The save menu will prompt you to select one of the available file types, select Веб-страница (web page). Make sure the save option is checked Whole book (Entire Workbook). Now it remains only to select a folder to save the file and click Save (Save).
By following these instructions, you can easily save an Excel chart as a picture. Now you can easily present your data in a more meaningful way!
