A complex type<264> that specifies the data source for the chart object.

Child Elements:

externalData: A CT_ExternalData element that specifies the external data used for the chart.

This element specifies the relationship to the data for this chart. The data can be linked, pointing to a spreadsheet in another file. Alternately, the data can be embedded, contained in a separate part within the same XML package containing the chart. Embedded data is stored as an embedded Spreadsheet object in Office Open XML format.

This element is not used by a spreadsheet application, as the spreadsheet application can maintain its own reference to the data in the spreadsheet by using the CT_Formula element.

data: A CT_Data element<265> that specifies the data used for the chart.

extLst: A CT_ExtensionList element<266> that specifies an extensibility container.
