Exporting an Excel plot as SVG or PNG [closed]

Tags:

svg

After I have created a plot in Excel , is there a way to export the plot to SVG while retaining the explicit characters and vector strokes. (I do not want to have to capture the screen and export).

UPDATE: I do not want to export in some complex and potentially lossy format such as PDF or Word. The graphics strokes are there in PDF, I just want to get them out. Also I don't want to dump as CSV and replot using some other tool.

How do I save an Excel graph as a PNG?

Export an Excel Chart as an ImageSelect “Save as Picture” from the shortcut menu. When the Save as Picture window opens, select the location where you want to save the image. Then, give your picture a File Name. You can also use the “Save as Type” drop-down box to choose the image format such as PNG or JPEG.

I think you have set yourself a very difficult task.

If you copy a plot area to the clipboard and look at the formats available with Application.ClipboardFormats, the only vector format offered is PICT. Perhaps this could be an avenue to investigate...

If you 'Print to PDF' you should be able to convert it to SVG-format. There's several converters online, I would use Adobe Illustrator though.
