SYMPTOM
In Microsoft Graph 5.0, if you try to import a chart that is embedded in a Microsoft Excel 5.0 worksheet, you may receive the following error message:

File does not contain a chart. Chart will not be updated.

CAUSE
The Import Chart feature in Microsoft Graph 5.0 can only detect a chart when it is on its own sheet (called a chart sheet in Microsoft Excel). Microsoft Graph 5.0 cannot detect a chart that is embedded in a worksheet.

RESOLUTION
In Microsoft Excel 5.0, to create a chart that is on its own worksheet:


 * 1) Select the range of data that you want to be displayed in a chart.
 * 2) From the Insert menu, choose Chart, and then choose As New Sheet.

To create your chart, follow the prompts in the ChartWizard.

NOTE: In Microsoft Graph 5.0, when you choose Import Chart from the Edit menu, it will always import the first chart that it finds in a workbook.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Graph version 5.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
