Multiple data series can be displayed together in a selected chart type already. It can happen then that these series deal with data types which have got a high probability that a lot of values will be (almost) the same. The value distribution would hinder a clear display in a single multi-series chart. Thus each data series should be presented in a separate chart while the X axis can be shared between them.
Markus, can you make some mockups for illustration of your suggest?

(In reply to Roman Kuznetsov from comment #1) I suggest to take another look at related information sources. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_series#Separated_charts

For example, you have data in col A and B and create a chart for both expecting two resulting charts stacked to each other (or rather on column with a separation by a category). Calc is a spreadsheet tool and you shouldn't look for advanced features as known from R, for example (eg. http://www.personal.psu.edu/mar36/stat_461/split_plot/split_plot.html). In my opinion such a split-plot feature would be out of scope. Eike, what's your take?
There exist applications, which allow to group several charts into one scene, e.g. "MuPad". Currently ODF only allows one <chart:chart> element in <office:chart>. So ODF has nothing comparable to a "scene". I consider introducing such concept as complex. Calc has the ability to group Chart objects, so that they can be easily moved together. Therefore I see no need for a "scene". Current workflow can be: Make a chart of all data series and style it. Clone the chart object as often as needed and arrange the chart objects. Then enter one-by-one and remove the not needed data series. At last group the chart objects. But some improvements in cloning and grouping would be nice.
(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #5) I am looking for improved presentations where an axis can be shared between graphs.
Taking Regina's comment for resolving this as WF. You can group charts or have to insert externally created objects, if sharing an axis is needed.
(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #8) I am curious under which circumstances better solutions will be considered for this issue. How much do you care for improvements around axis sharing with charts?
LibreOffice follows the specification of the open document format. And as Regina pointed out, there is no such property to combine charts. That's mostly why I resolved the ticket as WF. The other argument is that split-plot diagrams are out of scope for an office suite.

Would you dare any further extensions in this area? > The other argument is that split-plot diagrams are out of scope for an office suite. I got other application expectations. * How often do you fiddle with charts where an axis should be shared between them? * Are you used to visualisations around data together with the time dimension?
