Export an Excel chart

Is it possible to save an Excel chart as a .dxf file so that it can be used in a CAD program?

There is no export filter shipped with excel!
For your information.
AutoCAD Format 2-D (.dxf) Filter
 
The AutoCAD Format 2-D graphics filter (Dxfimp32.flt) supports all AutoCAD versions through Release 12, including AutoCAD for Windows.
 
The filter has the following limitations:
 
 - Extrusions that are part of 3-D drawings are not supported.
 
 - Control codes and special characters embedded in text shapes that require special characters are not supported.
 
 - The .dxf files that require separate shape definition files are not supported.
 
 - For multiple viewport .dxf files, the file is imported using the current viewport.

Thank you ckayter for your help. I was actually wondering if an Excel chart could be saved in a vector type format rather than a raster format. jboddy's comment indicates this is not possible.Cheers
