Not able to copy and paste two of six pie charts from Excel worksheet
Where are you unchecking that? I can only get to it if I select cells, not a chart.

JKPieterse Okay, I tried that but still wasn't able to copy. Are you using Office 365?
- Yes I am.
Have followed your discussion on the issue with interest. Couldn't resist testing a little bit on my own.
I couldn't copy-paste the original two charts at the bottom either. After successfully copying and pasting one of the others, the last chart copied kept on being pasted, even after having pressed Ctrl-C on one of the problem pies. So this indeed confirms that the pies at the bottom don't reach the clipboard.
As said, I'm on a Mac with the latest Office365 version and I could right-click on the graphs and save them as a picture, and insert them in whatever program desired. Thought it would work on a PC as well, but apparently not.
I have recreated some of the pies in the a new tab (including the one at the bottom left) in the original file, and I encounter non of the problems you describe. No need to unlock or delete values. Attaching the file for your reference. See if it works on your end. Perhaps it helps identifying the issue.
This is interesting - thank you. I wonder if my data sheet is corrupted? I'll have to analyze each of the cells in the original sheet that appear on this particular graph. The version I attached doesn't have any formulas like my original, I did a copy/paste special/values in order to delete the sheets with PHI. I think I posted that I have tied this copy issue to the "values from cells" action for the data label. Before I do that, I can copy it fine. After I do that, I can no longer copy. FYI: I have another pie chart in this workbook that also has an issue with "values from cells," but it doesn't have to do with copying. When I include "values from cells" on the data labels, they just don't show up.
