How to export a chart to excel

Here is what I'm using to create the chart it's in the result window

/* Define the line chart template */
proc template;
define statgraph linechart;
begingraph;
/* Create a dynamic variable for the year */
dynamic year;

/* Define the display attributes for each stock. Since
DISCRETEATTRMAP does not support the MARKERATTRS=
suboption SIZE=, the marker size is set separately. */
discreteattrmap name="company" / ignorecase=true ;
value "shoe" /
markerattrs=(color=blue symbol=trianglefilled)
lineattrs=(color=lightblue pattern=solid);
value "skirt" /
markerattrs=(color=red symbol=circlefilled)
lineattrs=(color=verylightred pattern=solid);
value "pants" /
markerattrs=(color=orange symbol=squarefilled)
lineattrs=(color=verylightorange pattern=solid);
enddiscreteattrmap ;

/* Associate the attribute map with input data column Stock and
assign the name STOCKATTRS to the named association */
discreteattrvar attrvar=companyattrs var=company attrmap="company" ;

entrytitle "company Index Performance in " year;
layout overlay /
/* Add a grid */
xaxisopts=(griddisplay=on gridattrs=(pattern=dot
color=lightgray))
yaxisopts=(griddisplay=on gridattrs=(pattern=dot
color=lightgray));
linechart category=date response=close / name="linechart"
/* Compute the mean */
stat=mean

/* Group by stock using the specified attributes */
group=companyattrs

/* Display the lines and markers */
display=(line markers)

/* Set the marker size */
markerattrs=(size=6)

/* Show vertex labels and specify their attributes */
vertexlabel=true
vertexlabelattrs=(size=7pt)
vertexlabelformat=dollar4.0;

/* Add a legend */
discretelegend "linechart";
endlayout;
endgraph;
end;
run;

/* Create a macro that generates a line chart for a specific year */
%macro genchart(year=);
/* Generate the chart */
proc sgrender data=companys template=linechart;
where year(date)=&year; /* Get the data for the specified year */
format date monname3.; /* Format the date as 3-letter month */
dynamic year="&year;"; /* Pass the year to the template */
run;
%mend genchart;

/* Generate a chart for 2001 */
%genchart(year=2020);

I would start with

ods excel file='c:\folder\path\myexcelfile.xlsx';

<code that generates the results I want in Excel>

ods excel close;

There are lots of options that go into things like naming tabs and such though.

By code that generates results I generally mean just the report or graphic output. Things like your template and macro definitions and all of the data manipulation are better done prior to the display part.
