Cannot Import Embedded Microsoft Excel Chart to Graph 5.0

ID: Q124513

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Graph for Windows, version 5.0
Microsoft Graph for Macintosh, version 5.0
Microsoft Excel for Windows, versions 5.0, 5.0c
Microsoft Excel for the Macintosh, version 5.0

SYMPTOM

In Microsoft Graph 5.0, if you try to import a chart that is embedded in a Microsoft Excel 5.0 worksheet, you may receive the following error message:

File does not contain a chart. Chart will not be updated.

CAUSE

The Import Chart feature in Microsoft Graph 5.0 can only detect a chart when it is on its own sheet (called a chart sheet in Microsoft Excel). Microsoft Graph 5.0 cannot detect a chart that is embedded in a worksheet.

RESOLUTION

In Microsoft Excel 5.0, to create a chart that is on its own worksheet:

Select the range of data that you want to be displayed in a chart.

From the Insert menu, choose Chart, and then choose As New Sheet.

To create your chart, follow the prompts in the ChartWizard.

NOTE: In Microsoft Graph 5.0, when you choose Import Chart from the Edit menu, it will always import the first chart that it finds in a workbook.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Graph version 5.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
