How to Embed a Chart
A chart helps you compare data graphically. You can display spreadsheet charts in other documents by linking or embedding them. An embedded chart is not connected to the original chart, so changes that you make to the chart within the new document are not applied to the chart in its original location. Like other objects on your page, the embedded chart can be moved and resized so it blends with the rest of your page.
