Description:
Hello,

Libre Office version 5.1.6.2, OS Mint 18.3 up-to-date

I have a Sheet1 that is linked to a web page and pulls the html table. Based on this i have a chart on Sheet2 .

The data on Sheet1 is updated every few seconds. The column count changes and also row count. For chart data range i use a range more than what I expect the data to be.

When the column count goes down it is fine. but next when the column count/row count goes up the data range changes in the chart and keeps losing the range i had set.

every time the page updates i have to validate if the chart data range is complete and if row/column counts have gone up then it is not. 

Since my data changes almost every minute it becomes a tedious process.

It would be better if the data range does not update to current non-empty cells and looks for data in the data range given, so when a linked page is refreshed it also refreshes correctly.

Thanks for your time!

Sincerely,
R

Actual Results:
Chart does not refresh correctly.

Expected Results:
Chart should reflect all data from linked page when sheet is updated as per link url.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Hello,

I download the latest version from web site and the problem still exists.

I set the data-range for chart, for eg, $Sheet1.$A$1:$R$630

when the sheet with linked data refreshes, it becomes:
$Sheet1.$B$1:$G$317,$Sheet1.$I$1:$N$1,$Sheet1.$H$2:$H$317,$Sheet1.$I$2:$M$253

Thanks,
R.

Please create a test case with an html file and .ods file that links to it and attach them to the report.

Please attach an example document.
Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED after you have provided the documents.
