Description Hylton Conacher 2019-01-18 16:35:04 UTC
Description:
On 20190118 I downloaded an update to my LibreOffice and successfully installed. I opened a file I had been working on in an older version which had the same issue as discribed in the subject. I visited the corresponding sheet and saw that the graph was not displaying a line as requested in the Chart Type  fields of column and 1 line. I rechecked the references to the data cells and all is correct. I changed the order of the units in Data Ranges to see if another colour would show, but with no luck. I also tried running my mouse cursor  up from the X axis to see if it managed to identify a line that was either transparebt or too thin to differentiate between the Major Grid. No labels showed up, despite the entry appearing in the Key.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create 6 column data table with 1st column and 1st row as labels ie a1 blank, b1=2016,c1=2017,d1=2018,e1=2019,f1=Annual average.
2. a2=Annual total,b2=100,c2=50,d2=100,e2=75,f2=average(b2:e2)
3.graph data with the  entry for f1:f2 being the last entry in the data ranges
4. Change chart type to column and line with a single line

Actual Results:
Expected result is a 4 column graph showing the totals in (2) abd the fifth column being a line across all the columns showing the average of all 4 columns.

Expected Results:
No 'Average' line was shown


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Shown an average line across all four columns

chart sample document

(In reply to Hylton Conacher from comment #0)

if i try to edit the chart from your attached document 
i get a warning:

"This chart currently contains an internal data table. 
 Do you want to proceed, deleting the internal data table, 
 and set a new data range?"

not sure, what happend, so i am adding a new sample document:
- first insert a line chart
- select the data series
- insert mean value line
- change chart type to column

https://help.libreoffice.org/Chart/Trend_Lines

does this solve your problem?

Tnx Oliver, however this does and does not solve the problem and editing the graph and inserting trendline actually inserts Trend lines for all 4 values :( That is why I calculated the value at which the line must be shown and made it the last item in the Data Range. Why when I choose column and line does it not respect that the last entry must be a line?

to be honest i have no idea if this is possible at all,
and if this issue can be seen as a bug.

@xisco: do you know someone who has more knowledge about charts?
