    Hello,

    Our organization just transitioned from Windows to Mac / Office to Google and we're in desperate need of help for some Mac-Google-Adobe experts.

    Our research team uses Google sheets to hold and organize raw data, then create charts and graphs using Google's chart editor. They then use Adobe Illustrator to clean up the chart/graph image to prepare for final professional publication. The
    unfortunate part is that Google Sheets charts do not export or download as SVG files. We've tried many different ways to convert the default png but nothing works. We tried this suggested workflow, but you can see it's cumbersome:

    Google Chart to SVG vector file

    Follow these steps:
    Create chart in Spreadsheet
    From the chart menu choose Publish to the web
    Select your chart from the list and choose Interactive
    Copy URL and open in new browser tab
    Install Chrome extension Export to SVG with Style
    Click the extension icon, it'll save your chart as an SVG file
    You have saved your chart as a vector file!
    Alternatively, if you do not want to install the extension you can copy SVG element from the published pages HTML source and save it as an svg file, like this:

    Open chart page in a browser tab (previous list step 4)
    View HTML source or use browser developer tools
    Copy SVG element from <svg all the way to </svg>
    Paste into the plain text editor
    Save as SVG file (add extension .svg at the end of the file)
    Then we tried this extension, but it is not downloading svg files as expected. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/export-svg-with-style/dkjdcaddoplepioppogpckelchefhddi


    Another option we've been told is to copy-paste the data straight into Illustrator's chart tool.

    Can anyone recommend an Adobe Creative Suite data graph/chart expert? We're interested in working with a consultant who can help us settle on an efficient workflow using data in Google Sheets and charts, and finalizing chart/graph art in Adobe
    Illustrator.

    In the end, we just need to be able to create graphs and charts with layered image options (e.g. SVG, ai, etc.) from data sets stored in Google Sheets. Please let me know if you are an Adobe-Google pro or if you know someone who can help!

    All the best,

    Sarah
