How to include a chart from Microsoft Excel 2002 on a webpage:
- Open the Excel spreadsheet and select the chart.
- From the menus, select "File->Save as Web Page"
- In the "Save As" window that pops up, click on the "Selection: Chart" radio button. If this is not the first time you've saved the chart then the radio button will instead be labeled "Republish: Chart".
- Maneuver to the desired directory and enter the desired file name in the "File name:" box. The file should have the extension ".htm" or ".html".
- Click on save. If you had selected the file name "chart.htm", then this will create the file "chart.htm" and the directory "chart_files".
- Go into the "chart_files" directory. There you will find a file called "image001.gif" (if you saved multiple charts, there will be more than one, numbered consecutively).
- Upload the .gif file to a website so that it is accessible on the web.
- In the EvC Forum text box for typing your message, refer to your chart like this:
[img]http://your.website.name/whatever/image001.gif [/img]
And that's all there is to it!
Here's my chart:
For those without places on the web to upload their data, there are many places that offer free websites.
Yahoo! Geocities is one.
