Export Excel Chart as .PNG
January 26, 2009
I ran across a very useful little add-in for Excel today. My hatred for Microsoft notwithstanding, I’m forced to use Office for much of what I do at my job. Several times over the past year, I’ve found myself needing to include charts from Excel in presentations, documents, or even just through email. Most people send the entire spreadsheet or just copy and paste it as a BMP. I’ve found that a lot of the time, it’s nearly impossible to read or just a royal pain to deal with. No longer a problem.
The add-in can also be downloaded as a package here. Many thanks to Jon Peltier.
I’m trying to move away from using Word for all of my documents and go to LaTeX instead – this will help quite a bit.
Thanks for the plug about my little tool. I wrote the first version of that maybe 8 years ago, and I keep refining it a bit at a time. It has saved me hours and hours. When it got to its present state, I figured I’d share it so other folks could save some time and aggravation too.
