Support for Editable Charts

Aspose.Cells for Reporting Services enables you to export Reporting Services chart items directly to Excel while preserving full editability.
This page consolidates the most frequently used scenarios and provides quick links to the corresponding tutorials.

Overview

When a report containing chart visualizations is exported to Excel, the default rendering often produces static images.
By using the editable‑chart feature, each chart is converted into a native Excel chart object, allowing end‑users to:

• Modify series, axes, and data labels directly in Excel.
• Apply Excel‑specific formatting (themes, styles, data tables).
• Keep the original data source linked for easy updates.

Below are the step‑by‑step guides that cover every export scenario.
