Please add the abilty to copy charts from Excel online in order to paste into other apps

Hi, I have set up charts for data visualisation within Excel that I would like others to be able to use in their reports and presentations. Unfortunately Excel Online does not appear to allow you to copy a chart.

Is there a workaround (that doesn't mean the user opening in Excel desktop and thus locking the file) or could this be added please?

Thank you.

Hello,

You can currently copy a chart from Excel Web and paste it into other office applications as a picture. We’re investigating expanding copy/paste from Excel Web to do more, so please continue adding votes if this is a feature you are looking for.

If you are working in Office 365 versions Excel for Windows and Mac, opening the workbook from your desktop applications will not lock the file for others.

Thanks!

    I've used Excel for 2 decades and loved it. You could literally do anything you wanted!

    It has to be said moving Excel online has to be one of the worst decisions Microsoft have ever made! Quite possibly just killed the application!

    It's sad as it was such a powerful tool but it's longer fit for purpose in it's current state

    If i could i wouldn't use it for Work either. Shame too many businesses still rely on the Microsoft Suite of Applications as the standard.

    Other office applications except Outlook online!! How am i supposed to send charts in an email without sharing an entire document. The move to office online has been extremely poor in terms of the lack of features that have been ported over.

    Still doesn't even support Slicers!

    Has this still not be resolved? I need to download a copy then copy/paste my tables into other office programmes, This is a huge invonvienase when you have to do that 40 times a day. when working with shared Excel files that 10 people are working off of and not having the most basic functionality is mind-boggling for such a huge company. This needs to be fixed soon!
