Example file from Excel, simplified from attachment of bug #54757

Imported Chart axis labels in DOCX document created with Microsoft Word 2010 change to default when the document is opened in LibreOffice Writer 6.2.0.0.alpha1+.

Steps to reproduce:

    1. Open the attached DOCX file in LibreOffice Writer
    2. View the attached screenshot
    3. Notice that the chart axis labels changed to default

Actual results:
Chart axis labels change to default when the document is opened in LibreOffice Writer 6.2.0.0.alpha1+.

Expected results:
Chart axis should have the same values as the original file when the document is opened in Microsoft Word 2010

Confirm with 4.1 and Version: 6.2.0.0.alpha1+

This seems to stem from the same area as bug #80816 - MSO supports custom axis label ranges, but LO doesn't.

Looking further, these labels come from this tag in chart1.xml:

<c:numLit><c:formatCode>General</c:formatCode><c:ptCount val="5"/><c:pt idx="0"><c:v>2007</c:v></c:pt><c:pt idx="1"><c:v>2008</c:v></c:pt><c:pt idx="2"><c:v>2009</c:v></c:pt><c:pt idx="3"><c:v>2010</c:v></c:pt><c:pt idx="4"><c:v>2011</c:v></c:pt></c:numLit>

In other words Excel allows a list of string literals to be entered as custom axis labels, while LO allows only a range in Data Ranges dialog - Data Series tab - Categories list.

Selecting a range in Excel instead of the above, saving and opening works fine in Calc master.

Dear Gabor Kelemen (allotropia),

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

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
