Topic: Recognition of Excel embedded data
Poster: John Fossey
I recently completed translation of some Excel files which had embedded charts. The chart labels were text (100 worksheets of them!) but they were uneditable from the Excel workbook and Studio 2011 couldn't see the labels. I was able to edit them manually by breaking open the Excel file (convert it to a zip file, unzip it and find the Chart XML files - one file for each chart - inside the internal file structure, edit the labels manually then reverse the process).
Is there some way to get Studio or another CAT tool to edit charts embedded in Excel directly? This is a document that I am going to be having to do from time to time so I would certainly like some software that would do the work inside Excel for me, rather than have to go through that again. Since I could access the chart data manually it shouldn't be too difficult for the software to do it.
Any suggestions appreciated.
