Today we got one ticket that user is facing some problem while displaying excel document by means of excel web access webpart. Further probing, we came to know that he is trying to display some chart by means EWA and getting the error as mentioned below:

Failed to download Excel Services chart

There is no need to troubleshoot this error we have a predefined setting in the central administration so easy resolution!

Let me describe step by step so that there would be no confusion.

Resolution:
1)   Open the Central Administration
2)   Manage service applications
3)   Excel service application
4)   Click on it
5)   Manage trusted file location settings
6)   Click on the trusted location of that web application
7)   In the Workbook Properties section, there is a "Maximum Chart Size" setting that is "1" (meaning the maximum chart size is 1MB) by default.
8)   Increase that and then click OK.

That’s it, you are done! Check the site on which you were facing the problem and that should be resolved now.

In case of any queries/questions then please let me know. I would be more than happy to help you as well as resolves your issues, Thank you.
