We teach Office 2007 accessibility and I always tell the students they have to add alt text to PowerPoint charts and graphs. JAWS will not read the underling excel data so you have to set the alt text to match what the chart visually displays.
In Excel 2007 JAWS reads the underling cell data for the chart or graph so there is no need to add alt text there.
