Love the thermometer chart, but how to copy to social media?

Thanks so much to Barry for the very helpful specifics on how to create a bar chart. Mine looks great in numbers, but I'd like to export the chart (without the data portion of the file) as a JPG to use on social media and in emails. Can you help me do that?

One way to do that might be to take a screenshot. Screenshots end up as png files for me, not jpgs, but maybe there is a setting to change it to jpg or you can open it in Preview and save as a JPG.


I am not familiar with the chart you are talking about but another way to copy charts is to select the chart, Copy, open the Preview App, use File/New from Clipboard. Then save as a jpg.


Or export as a PDF then use Preview to crop it to what you want to see and save it as a jpg. That should work, too.
