A problematic sample

The problem is initially described at https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/157488.

In the attached file, the charts at sheet "Page1" have their data ranges on the other pages of this spreadsheet: e.g., a complex definition with ='15287024548174887.xlsx'!Age for X names, and ='15287024548174887.xlsx'!Reject, ='15287024548174887.xlsx'!Decay_but_Serviceable, and ='15287024548174887.xlsx'!No_Decay for series (for the bottom histogram).

When imported to LibreOffice, all the charts get the own data table, thus unlinked from the sheets data. So, changing data e.g. at inputs.E2 (to 3000, to make the first bar the highest) doesn't modify the histogram.

Tested with: Version: 6.0.5.1 (x64)
Build ID: 0588a1cb9a40c4a6a029e1d442a2b9767d612751
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: default; 
Locale: ru-RU (ru_RU); Calc: CL
Comment 1 raal 2018-06-17 18:54:20 UTC
Confirm with Version: 6.2.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: 59935c314945cdc365878a898317bfaa366fc36e
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.4; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; 
and Version: 4.4.0.0.alpha2+

Data table correctly linked in excel2010.

Chart broken in 4.1.

Dear Mike Kaganski,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Warm Regards,
QA Team
