# Include Excel Charts in Apps

> Charts are visual representations for data visualization, in which the data is represented by symbols. They are often used because they are easier to read than the raw data.

Charts are visual representations for data visualization, in which the data is represented by symbols. They are often used because they are easier to read than the raw data.

To include a chart into your application developed with **UiPath Apps**, follow the procedure below.

## Prerequisites

Before including a chart into your application, you must have:

* A chart template in Excel.
* The `UiPath.Excel.Activities.Business.CopyChartToClipboardX` activity installed and configured. For more information, see [Get Excel Chart](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/v1.0/docs/copy-chart-to-clipboard-x).
* The `UiPath.Core.Activities.LoadImage` activity installed and configured. For more information, see [Load Image](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/v1.0/docs/load-image).

## Procedure

1. Add a required chart with the needed data in an Excel sheet.
2. Use the `Get Excel Chart` activity to save the chart.
3. Save the chart as a picture.

4. Use the `Load Image` activity and reference the chart image location.
5. Convert the chart image to `base64`.
6. Prefix the `base64` string with the following: `data:image/png;base64,`. Make sure that `base64` is a **string** data type.
7. Pass the string as an out argument of your choice.
8. Add the out argument in the **Url** field of your image control.
