Is it feasible to export chart data to CSV or spreadsheet format? I've been unable to locate this capability. Please provide guidance.

Hi, thanks for clarifying! That's correct - at this time the file options for exporting your document are: PDF, PNG, JPEG, SVG, and a CSV file for shape data. If you'd like to see this option considered as a future feature, please post this as an idea in the product feedback section on the community.
It sounds like your end goal is to link data to a Lucidchart document. This is an available feature that you can learn about here in this Help Center article (Link data to a Lucidchart document). Please note that it's only available with the Enterprise Plan - but let us know if you have any questions about data linking if you decide to upgrade. Thank you!
+14Hi
+2Thanks,
Example:
Map data in CSV
Import into Lucid
Modify the map within Lucid
now CSV/Excel/Google Sheets table would be out of sync.
??? I cannot back out the state of the data from Lucid back to the CSV/Excel/GS

+2Thanks again,
I noticed that there is indeed a nice way to get the embedded data out from the Object.
Select the desired Object on the canvas.
Go to the object panel on the right.
Choose Data tab → Manage Data → Export as CSV
And we are presented with options to refresh, replace, overlay, and export.
Choosing Export as CSV: you are presented with the options to either download the CSV of the changes made within Lucid, or download the entire dataset that is currently in use for the object.
That is all good now. Thanks for your patient and kind guidance all along.
+8Hello! If exporting your data is a step to re-importing it to Excel, I wanted to let you know Lucid is actively developing an Excel integration with Lucidchart. This feature will allow you to import spreadsheets from Office 365 business accounts, and have 2-way syncing between Lucid and your Excel spreadsheet.
If you (or anyone reading this) is interested, shoot me a DM. I can get you onboarded to our Excel beta. We’re actively looking for testers that can provide feedback and feature requests for this new capability.
+20Writing with exciting news - the two-way Excel sync that Jimmy mentioned above is now available to all users in a public beta test! We’re still actively working on it and making improvements, so we’d love to hear your feedback. Learn more in this thread:
