Description chris_hellin 2020-10-11 09:01:59 UTC
Description:
Save file: All charts are linked to 'Data Ranges' on other sheets.

Open the same file the following day: Some (random?) charts now have 'Data Tables' and do not update from the data.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Save file
2. Open file
3. Go through sheets and see which charts have decided to change functionality.

Actual Results:
Chart now uses Data Table of old data and doesn't update

Expected Results:
Chart continues to use the Data Ranges assigned when created


Reproducible: Always

I can't reproduce.

Can you test with an updated version.

Thank you for reporting the bug.
it seems you're using an old version of LibreOffice.
Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ?
I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.

I've updated to:

Version: 7.0.2.2
Build ID: 8349ace3c3162073abd90d81fd06dcfb6b36b994
CPU threads: 2; OS: Linux 5.4; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); UI: en-GB
Flatpak
Calc: threaded

and the graphs seem to stay with the Data Ranges. I haven't had any occurence of the original problem since.

fyi, when updating the daily World Health Organisation data, some of the charts update and some don't. I update all the sheets necessary and have to save, close calc and then reopen for all the charts to be up to date. It's not a problem for me, just passing on an observation.

The data comes (daily) from

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/master/csse_covid_19_data/csse_covid_19_time_series/time_series_covid19_confirmed_global.csv

and

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/master/csse_covid_19_data/csse_covid_19_time_series/time_series_covid19_deaths_global.csv

and are pasted into cell A1 of sheets "dd_cases" and "dd_dead" respectively, then sheets "cases cx", "deaths cx", "extract", "slope 8 wks", "slope 4 wks" and "slope 2 wks" are updated manually. Those are the sheets where the data for the charts is derived.

Some charts update and some don't. Saving and reopening isn't a problem for me, just thought you'd like to know.

Let's close this, then.

The updating problem mentioned in comment 4 might have been bug 86321, which was recently fixed.
