Can I import existing charts into think-cell?

Problem

• I have a chart created in Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Graph, or another charting tool.
• I have an image of a chart, e.g., on a website or in a PDF document.

Is it possible to import the entire chart into think-cell?

Solution

If the chart is a bar or column chart, extract the numerical data from the chart you see on your screen. Please see 5.6 Chart scanner in our user manual.

For other chart types, insert a new think-cell chart, copy the values from the datasheet of the other chart, and paste them into think-cell's datasheet. Depending on the old chart's datasheet orientation, copying the data may be easier if you adapt the orientation of the think-cell datasheet as described in our user manual in 5.3 Transposing the datasheet.
