Description Stephen Zvacek 2020-05-09 18:48:49 UTC
Description:
I have a main table and three pivot tables that sort data from the main table.  After adding new data to the main table, I select the applicable pivot to update.  I select pivot table-refresh.  The data in the pivot table does not refresh.  I have selected "edit" and then saved and then tried to refresh but get the same result. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. main table and three pivot tables.
2. Add new data to the main table
3. Save updated main table
4. Select applicable pivot table
5. Select Pivot table-refresh


Actual Results:
The pivot table does not refresh

Expected Results:
Table should refresh with new data


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
To get the pivot table to update with the new data, I have to delete the pivot table and recreate the same table

Thank you for reporting the bug. 

To be certain the reported issue is not
related to corruption in the user profile, could you please reset your
Libreoffice profile ( https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile ) and
re-test?

If the problem persists, please attach a sample document, as this makes it easier for us to verify the bug.

The pivot tables refresh properly when in "Safe" mode.
Comment 3 Charles Williams 2024-10-15 17:26:36 UTC
A possible explanation:

If you simply add new data to the end of the main table it will lie outside the range specified in the pivot-table's 'Properties... > Source and Destination > source' so you'll need to reset this range to include the new data. If, on the other hand, you use 'Sheet > Insert Rows Above' to create space between the first and last rows of the main table this should automagically expand the source range.
