In this section we will be seeing how to access the charts using the REST URL.

REST URL:

http://serverName:1111/sites/VJTesting/_vti_bin/excelrest.aspx/Shared%20Documents/ExcelChart.xlsx/model/Charts REST aspx Page URI - http://servername:1111/sites/VJTesting/_vti_bin/excelrest.aspx

Workbook Location - /Shared%20Documents/ExcelChart.xlsx

Resource Location- /model/Charts

This will show all the charts available as shown in the following

http://ctsinmbpmoss:1111/sites/VJTesting/_vti_bin/excelrest.aspx/Shared%20Documents/ExcelChart.xlsx/model/Charts('Chart%201')

Add the Chart to the SharePoint Wiki Page:

Open the SharePoint Wiki Page.
Go to Site Actions => Edit the Page.
In the ribbon interface, go to Editing Tools => Insert => Picture => From Address.

Enter the Chart REST URL and alternate text.

The chart looks like the following.

Any changes made to the chart in the excel workbook will be reflected in the Wiki page also (where we have added the chart).
I have added a new item "New" in the chart and it will be reflected in the wiki page chart also as shown in the following.
