@stella,

Exporting chart data as excel / CSV is not available as an inbuilt feature as of now. However with few lines of code, you can convert chart data into comma-separated CSV and download it. Please find the code snippet for the same below.

function convertChartDataToCSV(args) {  
  var result, ctr, keys, columnDelimiter, lineDelimiter, data;

  data = args.data || null;
  if (data == null || !data.length) {
    return null;
  }

  columnDelimiter = args.columnDelimiter || ',';
  lineDelimiter = args.lineDelimiter || '\n';

  keys = Object.keys(data[0]);

  result = '';
  result += keys.join(columnDelimiter);
  result += lineDelimiter;

  data.forEach(function(item) {
    ctr = 0;
    keys.forEach(function(key) {
      if (ctr > 0) result += columnDelimiter;
      result += item[key];
      ctr++;
    });
    result += lineDelimiter;
  });
  return result;
}

Please take a look at this JSFiddle for fully functional example on exporting chart data as CSV. Also take a look at this plugin, which does the same.

If this doesn’t help you, kindly share working sample project along with sample database over Google-Drive or Onedrive so that we can try running it locally, understand your scenario better and help you out.

Is it possible to export CSV data for multi series graph? I have 3 different datapoints in my graph and would like to export all 3 different y-axis values

@sptrainee31,

Previously shared solution seems to be working only for single-series & not for multi-series. The code provided in the previously shared solution can be further improved to make it work with multi-series chart as shown in below code-snippet.

function convertChartDataToCSV(args) {
  var result = '',
      ctr, keys, columnDelimiter, lineDelimiter, data;

  data = args.data || null;
  if (data == null || !data.length) {
    return null;
  }

  columnDelimiter = args.columnDelimiter || ',';
  lineDelimiter = args.lineDelimiter || '\n';

  var mergedData = mergeData(data);

  keys = Object.keys(mergedData[0]);
  result = '';
  result += keys.join(columnDelimiter);
  result += lineDelimiter;

  mergedData.forEach(function (item) {
    ctr = 0;
    keys.forEach(function (key) {
      if (ctr > 0) result += columnDelimiter;
      result += (typeof (item[key]) != undefined ? item[key] : "");
      ctr++;
    });
    result += lineDelimiter;
  });
  return result;
}

Please take a look at this JSFiddle for working code. Also take a look at this external plugin, which has been updated to work with multi-series chart.

Hi Vishwas.

I tried to run the code on JSFiddle, but only works once.
And the last Data with all DataPoints is deleted.

Do you know if this code works on Canjas 3.4 version ?

[Vishwas R]

@daniel_peixoto,

Thanks for reporting the use-case. There was a minor issue with the object reference in the external code added for exporting the chart data as CSV. We have updated the same, please take a look at updated JSFiddle.

Hi Vishwas.

Now the code on JSFiddle works fine, thanks.

Another question:
Can I use this code on CanvasJs Trial version?
