Description: With the x-axis of a chart in the form DDD MM/DD/YY HH:MM, exiting calc and opening again, the x-axis is incorrect. Happens in older 6.4.4.2 x64 and new 7.0.0.3 x64. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create 2 columns. First formatted DDD MM/DD/YY HH:MM. E.g., Sat 08/22/20 18:57. Second column some numbers. 2. Make a chart, type XY Scatter. 3. Save. Close Calc. Reopen the document. Actual Results: The x-axis labels change from form Sat 08/22/20 18:57 to some numbers unrelated to the data even though source format is still checked. Editing the x-axis numbers to explicitly request DDD MM/DD/YY HH:MM does not help. They seem in fact to go back to the beginning of time. Expected Results: Maintain the values and format of the source data. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes OpenGL enabled: Yes Additional Info: none
Please attach a sample file.
Created attachment 164861 [details] Example xls saved file of chart problem Thank you. I discovered there is a bit more to this. When setting up for the chart choose extra blank rows below the existing data, in anticipation of future data. When saved in native ods format the problem is NOT reproducible. When taking the .ods file and doing save as .xls the problem appears as can be seen in the uploaded file.
In order to have time instead of that numbers when you go to Data Renges select also time and value, NOT just value! Please test again and I am waiting for your result.
Created attachment 164863 [details] Example ods file I do not understand the latest comment and upload Charting.ods. Open this file and then use "save as" to make Charting.xls. Close it. Open Charting.xls and the time axis has become just a serial number, not time.
When saving as .xls I get this error: "The document contains more columns than supported in the selected format. Additional columns were no saved."
This is interesting. I do not see that problem/error! I think there are 2 things going on. One is the conversion to .xls and the other is the inclusion of empty cells below the data when composing the chart. When I downloaded the file that I had uploaded I did not have any problems. But I checked and the ranges did not include any empty cells in that file, unlike the file I thought I uploaded. When I created the example I filled in data cells for 4 rows and kept the formatting the same up to row 20. Then I select the first 2 columns and rows #1 up to #20 for the scatter chart. Make chart. Save as .ods. Save as .xls. Exit. Open .xls. This x-axis corruption is totally reproducible for me. I suggest taking the .ods file I uploaded, check that formatting is the same in col 1 up to row 20, deleting the chart, and making a chart using rows up to row 20. Now save as .xls, exit and re edit the .xls file. The x-axis data points should no longer be times, but should be 1,2,3,4. Let me know if I can further clarify. Thanks for your help.
Yes, with this steps I reproduce the bug. ----------- I suggest taking the .ods file I uploaded, check that formatting is the same in col 1 up to row 20, deleting the chart, and making a chart using rows up to row 20. Now save as .xls, exit and re edit the .xls file. The x-axis data points should no longer be times, but should be 1,2,3,4. ----------- Confirm with Version: 6.4.5.2 Build ID: a726b36747cf2001e06b58ad5db1aa3a9a1872d6 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.4; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; Locale: ro-RO (ro_RO.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded
Dear ZithraMestor, 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.

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 Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!
