Thanks for your response, but that article seems to be specific to SP 2010. According to Microsoft the chart web part is discontinued for SP 2013. Please see: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint-help/discontinued-features-and-modified-functionality-in-microsoft-sharepoint-2013-HA102892827.aspx#_Toc339867839 So the question is, if the CWP has been discontinued and Excel Services is recommended, how do we accomplish the same thing. (Note that I don't want to display an entire worksheet/workbook -- just a chart.

I would like to display a simple bar chart on a page (populated from data in a Sharepoint list). How can I do this since the chart web part has been discontinued in SP 2013?

Hi there, As you are probably seeing given the answers in this thread, you cannot in SharePoint 2013 or SharePoint Online use the Chart Web Part; there is no out-of-the-box functionality to directly tie a SharePoint list to a chart web part in 2013. As an alternative, the easiest way is to have the information present in an Excel sheet as a connection to the list, to create the Chart there, save that workbook in a document libary, then use the Excel Web Access web part to open that workbook and set the Named Item as the title of the chart. If you want the contents of the list to be displayed as a chart you would need to export that to excel which creates a 'list' and then defining the excel sheet as connected to that list. There is a video that explains that procedure here, which has not changed for Excel 2013: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weyli9OGJhk Basic Steps for creating the chart is: Go to your SharePoint ListExport it to ExcelCreate the Chart (by default, the chart will be named as Chart 1 if there are no other charts)Save the workbook into a document library on the siteCreate a new pageAdd a new web part, from Business Data categories add the Excel Web Access web partOpen the tool pane from that web partFor the workbook select the workbook from the document library (as of step 4)For the named item, enter Chart 1Click OK That will then display the Chart from the excel workbook. Hope this helps G

You're correct, Geoff. I got this to work, and I gave you credit for the answer. Having said that, this is not a very useful solution in real life. Users will expect charts to be updated based on up-to-the-minute data. As a developer or content administrator I should be able to quickly and easily create and publish a chart that is based on some external data source (e.g. Sharepoint list, SQL Azure table, etc.). Hopefully there's a resolution for this soon.
