Test case

Could anyone reproduce this in latest LibreOffice?
Sorry no time to try latest verison, as that crashed when we tried recently.

Attached file to reproduce

Note, if Insert->Chart by selecting A2:B5 that includes the column headings, the chart's "Range for Name" are correct.

If if Insert->Chart by selecting B2:B5 you need to manually enter the chart's "Range for Name" needs to be manually typed, and when it is - Calc changes it to lowercase, and removes any spaces.

confirming, but IMHO you need to enter an absolute cell address for "Range for Name" and not string title

Ah, I wonder why it works and shows the nice heading with a space and not forced to lower case if including the column heading?

I can't reproduce it in

Version: 6.4.0.0.alpha1+
Build ID: fea5c10e222b10d83e0081dc1d1b2e678689d250
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; 
Locale: ca-ES (ca_ES.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: threaded

which are the specific steps to reproduce it ?
Comment 5 Oliver Brinzing 2019-11-11 17:54:51 UTC
steps to reproduce:

- open attached spreadsheet
- select B2:B5 
- Menu Insert->Chart
- [Next]
- [Next]
- Data Series: Select "ColumnA"
- Data ranges: Select "Name"
- Range for Name: enter "HelloWorld"

but i think, only cell ranges are allowed for input

Dear Jonny Grant,

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
