How can I export an Excel/OpenOffice/LibreOffice chart to SVG? [closed]

I'm using one of the popular spreadsheet applications (Excel/OpenOffice/LibreOffice Graph) to create some nice charts.

Is it possible to export the charts to SVG format from any of those programs?

You can use Libreoffice/Openoffice + Inkscape:

This way you can edit every single object on the graph like an svg.

What is Draw? Is it a software? Is it a panel on the program (if so, what program?)? – Cyanine 5/10, 2018 at 20:32

You can skip the part with Libre Draw. Just mark it and Export... as an SVG. – Donnelldonnelly 26/1, 2023 at 15:57

Since LibreOffice 4.0 you can right click a chart and select "Export as Image". Since LibreOffice 4.1 this also supports SVG – Shabby 4/7, 2023 at 6:25

According to this thread, there are several ways in Excel:

use svgmaker into MS Excel
try this example (mirror here)
grab data from Excel in XML and apply an XSLT mask (but seems like quite tricky - here is a link given in the thread)

I don't know enough OpenOffice or LibrOffice to help you more.

A little clumsy solution for LibreOffice: Save a chart/graph as image in Calc? – Footway 7/6, 2012 at 17:48
