Another error with Charts in Calc:

I have a sheet in a separate page from my data.

When I click on the chart and then select "edit", then "data ranges", then I change the range from:

$data.$DX$500:$DZ$706,$first.$A$1,$data.$GW$500:$GX$706

to:

$data.$DX$500:$DZ$717,$first.$A$1,$data.$GW$500:$GX$717

then in the tab "data series", I also change all the Y values accordingly from:

$data.$DX$500:$DX$706

to:

$data.$DX$500:$DX$717

the chart seems to have adapted itself to the changes.

However, when I press "OK", everything in the chart area disappears ...

Dimitris Kallipolitis just gave a very likely solution for the problem:

I have found a solution to this problem:
Go to Tools->Options->LibreOffice→Advanced→Open Expert Configuration→ Search
for ‘cache’→ Change org.openoffice.Office.Common→Cache→Drawing Engine
(OLE_Objects) to e.g. 40 (default value 20). This value should be greater than
your maximum number of charts in any spreadsheet that you use. A lower value
causes some charts not to be updated when spreadsheet data is updated. It's a
cache issue.

Verified with:
Version: 7.1.2.2 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 10(Build:2)
OS: Linux 5.8; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Ubuntu package version: 1:7.1.2~rc2-0ubuntu0.20.04.1~lo3
Calc: threaded

So, I think, the error can be closed.
