I tried it.

Source of a simple spreadsheet with a chart:
http://www.ooowiki.de/DiagrammMitLinien.html

I took one spreadsheet out of it:
http://borumat.de/+svg/tabellendokument.ods

I exported it from Libreoffice as a PDF:
http://borumat.de/+svg/tabellendokument.pdf

I imported the PDF into Inkscape:
http://borumat.de/+svg/tabellendokument.svg


The SVG code of the chart is not editable/usable, because it uses only
"svg:path".
And it is full of redundances.


I'm not a programmer, but I think that only a specialized
software/plugin can create high quality (editable) SVG code from
spreadsheet data.

All the concepts of charts has to be "mapped":

axis, grid, scale, legend, ...

Semantically useful IDs has to be used and so on ...

Best, Andreas
