Not able to copy and paste two of six pie charts from Excel worksheet
You will not believe it - I converted all the pie charts to 2-D, copied one of the ones that will copy, changed the data to be the data from the first chart that would not copy, AND - that one will not copy either!!

I don't think it is the issue. All the pie charts have non-contiguous cells. I even completely recreated the chart on a new tab and it will not copy either. I started monitoring my clipboard, and the issue is that it won't go on the clipboard. I have a pie chart that is more complicated (more slices) and it WILL copy. Of course, I have an issue with that one too - I have tried to add "value from cells" to the data labels and they just won't show up.
I should state that I am using Office 365 and from doing some searching, it may have some overall clipboard issues.

Where are you unchecking that? I can only get to it if I select cells, not a chart.
