3594110 - Unable to export graphs and charts as Excel in SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC)

Symptom

Unable to export graphs and charts as Excel in SAC

Environment

SAP ANALYTICS CLOUD Version: 2025.1.10

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Login to SAC.
  2. Open a story with multiple charts and tables.
  3. Click on File > Export, Notice that only PDF and Powerpoint is available in file type but not excel.
  4. Select a chart and then click on triple dots > Export, Notice that xlsx is not available in file type but csv is present.
  5. Select csv and then export, notice that data is extracted from the chart and converted to rows and columns.
  6. Chart is not exported as chart in csv format.

Cause

  • SAC supports exporting individual tables to Excel. However, the feature to export an entire story with all its visual elements, such as charts, graphs, and multiple tables, is not built into the system.
  •  You can export stories as PDFs or PowerPoint presentations to maintain the full visual context, but direct Excel exports are restricted to tabular data.
