I want to embed chart from Excel in Word document. Both Excel and Word documents are saved in SharePoint library. What I did, was to paste chart from Excel with "link data" option enabled. I also went to Links window and set "Update method for seected link" to "Automatic update".
This works great, asking me to update chart everytime I open Word document, which is exactly what I want. Only as long as I have Excel file open. (I noticed, that when the file was on local PC, instead of SharePoint, it worked without opening Excel). When Excel is not open, chart is not refreshed.
If I go to Client Tools -> Design ribbon and click on Edit Data, source is opened in window and chart is updated.
My question is:
How can I force chart to update with data, that might have changed in Excel located on SharePoint? Macro, that would open the file is fine.
Making users go thru ribbon and "edit data" option is unfortunately too complicated for inexperienced users. I need one-button-click solution or something that works automaticaly.
