Example file from Excel

Attached XLSX file contains a column, line and bar chart with one very long labeled data point, such that it breaks to multiple lines.
In Excel such long labels are aligned by default as centered, but in Calc they are aligned left. Center alignment looks subjectively better.

Steps to reproduce:
    1. Open attached file

Actual results:
Long axis labels are aligned left, which is uglier than centered alignment.

Expected results:
Long axis labels should be aligned centered.
