Hiding inaccessible charts from screen readers?

Happy Friday Everyone,

I'm seeking opinions on the best practice for a page that has an
inaccessible graphical chart with an accessible tabular version of the
data below it. Would it be better to hide the inaccessible graphic from
SR users so that they go straight to the accessible table, or should the
inaccessible graphic remain as it is by default with a link just above
it to the accessible table?

Appreciate your feedback!

Greg
