Digitizing (Converting) picture of a graph to excel data

Hello everybody,

I am wondering if there is any tool in excel or extension that converts a graph or a plot (as an image) to excel data (table or plot)?

I am aware that there are some software and websites that can do that

But, I would like to know if I can achieve that through MS Excel

I really do appreciate your response.

Thank you.

    I don’t think this is possible natively in Excel. Instead, you can use an external tool like graph2table. After converting the graph image, you can copy the data into Excel or download as csv and import it.

      Dear SergeiBaklan , 

      Thanks for your reply. I believe the given snapshot is from 365 version.

       

      However, is this option capable to extract data from a photo of a graph? I know that it is extracting the data from a picture of data (columns and rows).

       

      Please advise if you have tried it before with graphs. Thank you so much
