What solution would you recommend to export a chart generated using OutSystems Charts, to a downloadable PowerPoint presentation?

I did try some Forge components, but they only allow the generation of PowerPoints with both text or images.

For the project, the business requires the generated PowerPoint files to contain an editable chart.

Can you please assist me in finding the best solution to export an editable chart on a PowerPoint slide?

Thank you in advance!

Hello Gonçalo,

Thank you for taking time to investigate and provide an answer.

Unfortunately, I conclude the available exports are always static, meaning, they are non-editable generated images of the graphs, exported to a PowerPoint.

Best regards,

Hello,

I don't have context about the exporting features, it's not something we offer by default on the component.
Probably here you can find some more context and try out those capabilities.
