This was really helpful to me! So helpful that I wrote a small (windows)
guide for getting Excel graphs into LyX via .eps-conversion in INKSCAPE.
I hope this will be helpful to future readers:
1) In Excel, select graph and "File > Print".
2) In Print, choose "Printer: Foxit Reader PDF Printer" or similar. Press
"Print" and "Save as...".
3) Open resulting .pdf in INKSCAPE.
4) Select graph by left-clicking it. With the graph selected, go to "File
> Document Properties".
5) Expand "Resize page to content..." and press "Resize page to drawing or
selection".
6) Select all (Ctrl+A) and press "Ungroup selected groups" (Ctrl+Shift+G).
Repeat until the bottom status bar reports "No groups to ungroup in
this selection".
(This step will keep the text intact).
7) Save file as .eps and import to LyX as usual.
