After you've created your chart in Google Sheets, open the Google Docs document file where you want to insert the spreadsheet or create a new file. Click Insert on the menu bar => Chart => From Sheets (from a sheet).

At this time, the screen will display a list of available worksheets, select any sheet you want and then click Select.

On the next window, select any chart on the existing sheet and click Import.
