I thought there was a way to limit what data can be exported or printed but can not find the setting. Can you please let me know how I can limit users to only be able to print charts? I do not what to allow them to download the data?
We have no impact on chart engines' exporting feature. If you enable Exporting for HighCharts or Apex Charts, all included options will be available (CSV and Excel included).
Every chart exposes several options that customize its look and feel. Charts usually support custom options appropriate to that visualization. wpDataChart callbacks allow adding options that are available in Google Charts API, Highcharts API, and Chart.js API.
All necessary resources are available in charts engines API (depends on which one you use). Every engine has a different approach to chart settings. In wpDataChart callbacks, you have to adopt those settings to the wpDataChart object (you can take a look at examples for each engine in our documentation, and also in the Support help center). A huge number of examples for any area of programming can be found on stackoverflow.com (typing your problem in google and at the end add "site: stackoverflow.com" and Google will search only that website). Also, a lot of examples of charts, chart settings, and customization can be found on jsffidle.net (typing in google for example "line chart highcharts jsffidle")
Please note that using hooks or wpDataTable and wpDataChart callbacks requires a certain level of programming skills and included support refers only to advice.

Hello Terry
We have no impact on chart engines' exporting feature. If you enable Exporting for HighCharts or Apex Charts, all included options will be available (CSV and Excel included).
Maybe you could use wpDataCharts callbacks and modify the behavior. Here's the API reference: https://api.highcharts.com/highcharts/exporting.buttons.contextButton.menuItems
