    Note:
    • When files in other formats (.xls, .xlsx, and .ods) contain charts, the charts are retained in their supported types when you edit the file in IBM® Connections Docs. Likewise, when you create charts in IBM Docs and download the file to those formats, the charts are intact.
    • You cannot group charts that you insert into a spreadsheet. When you import spreadsheets that already contain grouped charts, you must act on each object separately.
