How can I get vector charts from excel into illustrator?

I have annual quality reports to do for our health trust,  the charts are created in excel by our quality team (admin) and are really poor quality  it appears to save them as rastered images (jpg or png) when it comes to commercial printing the poor quality really drags the overall annual report down.
They are complicated charts but just need to be able to clean up the text and vector lines/symbols so they look as good as the rest of the report.  Any ideas or suggestion on how i can do this, or other programs I can load the data into to get some decent quality vectors?

I do it all the time. Have them give you an Excel worksheet with all the charts. Make sure the font is set in Excel to something besides the default, i.e. Arial which you can easily change in AI. As for the rest as Kris says have only single filled symbols (either circles, squares or diamonds) for all data. No stroke symbols.

    i have one input table and two output tables (name it as output1, output2). Selected rows from input table are displayed in output1 table. The data in output1 table is temporary(means the dat wont store in database just for display purpose).
    Actually what i want is how can i get all values from output1 table to output2 table with out selecting the data in output1 table?
    thanks in advance.

    You could set the table's data model to be the same:
    output2.setModel( output1.getModel() );

  • How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system.  Not enough memory to upgrade.

    How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system.  Not enough memory to upgrade.

    You can't.  iCloud is not for general file backup from a Mac. It's for backup up and syncing data between mobile devices and and Macs and  The following is from this Apple document: iCloud: Backup and restore overview.
    iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your (mobile) device using iOS 5 or later. Once you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch .....
    What is backed up
    You get unlimited free storage for:
    Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
    Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    You get 5 GB of free iCloud storage for:
    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
    Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
    Ringtones
    Visual Voicemails
    But not from a Mac.  If you want to backup your photos and other important files I suggest you get an external hard drive and use  it with Time Machine.

  • How can I get all photos from the camera roll onto the photo stream so they will share between iphone and ipad?

    How can I get all photos from the camera roll, and all new pictures taken, to get on the photostream so they can share between iphone and ipad?

    When turning PhotoStream on with photos available in the Camera Roll, only photos captured by the iPhone or saved on the iPhone are placed in the PhotoStream.
    For all photos that were in the Camera Roll prior to turning PhotoStream on, import the photos with your computer and add the photos to your PhotoStream on your computer.

  • HT4437 I want to develop a software with AirPaly service for business things. How can I get the permission from Apple?

    I want to develop a software with AirPaly service for business things. How can I get the permission from Apple?
    This one is used in Windows laptop, and I want it support AirPlay service, but Apple doesn't publish the AirPlay protocol.
    Many thanks.

    Create a developer account, then access he developers forums and see if you can find the information that way 
    The other option would be to simply contact Apple directly.

    Hello ashlyn888,
    Based on your post it sounds like you would like to sync your iBooks content with your computer. I have located an article that may help you in this situation. While you can sync this data with your computer you can also use the sharing button to send PDFs using various sources:

  • How Can we get the data from Non-SAP to SAP in WebDynpro

    Hi,
    I hope u understand my query, How can we get the data from Non-SAP to SAP thru WebDynpro Programming.
    Help out with the steps for getting the data or procedure.
    Regards,
    Mutyapu

    You can expose the APIs in the Non-SAP backend as Web Services, and consume them in SAP by creating an Enterprise Proxy. Then these can be called just like normal class methods from Web Dynpro.

  • How can I get a refund from an App that I bought?

    How can I get a refund from an app that I bought? I bought an app called Package for MS Office on the 8th of January and I also reported a problem and they have not got back to me with a response. It has been 3 weeks now and I am still waiting for a reply back. Very disappointed.

    I have now got an openoffice which I got from the internet. But the main thing is I paid £20.99 for this app and It is irriatting that the people who work for apple havent got back to me when I first reported a problem. I reported to them again and hoping that they will eventually get back to me.

  • How can i get my music from iphone onto a new pc

    how can i get my music from iphone onto a new pc . i have A NEW IPAD I WANT TO TRANSFER THE MUSIC ONTO

    When connected to your computer's iTunes you can use File > Transfer Purchases to copy over any music (and other content) that you've bought from Apple. For music that you've copied from your own CDs or bought from other download sites then is it not already on your computer and/or on a backup that you can copy onto your computer ? If not then you will need to find a third-party program to copy them off the phone.
    And there is no need to SHOUT.
