Created attachment 44250 [details] Example Spreadsheet My explanation refers to the attached OD Spreadsheet: Issue_GETPIVOTDATA_01.ods. == Explanation == In Issue_GETPIVOTDATA_01.ods is a Datpilot with: • Column Fields: Rechnungs-Datum • Row Fields: Name, Rufnummer • Data Fields: Kosten on the Row Field "Name" is set a User-defined subtotal (sum) which is also visible in the datapilot. I want to refer to this subtotals using the GETPIVOTDATA formula. I work under the german locale, UI, and environment. So I tried: =GETPIVOTDATA($A$1;"Name[Name1;Summe]") which doesn't work (#REF: Fehler: Ungültiger Bezug). But: =GETPIVOTDATA($A$1;"Name[Name1;Sum]") does work. Although in my german locale, I cannot see the word "sum" in my datapilot. == Reason == My guess, the english "sum" in GETPIVOTDATA is necessary in order to assure the inter-language compatibility. That is if I would use "Summe" the formula wouldn't work for someone in english locale since there would be no "Summe" in /his/ datapilot. == Resolution / Proposal == My proposal: the help section to the GETPIVOTDATA formula, should be updated for non-english locales. German Example/Proposal: Wenn mit der Funktion PIVOTDATENZUORDNEN auf benutzerdefinierte Teilergebnisse im Datenpiloten verwiesen werden soll, so müssen diese mit ihrem englischen Titel referenziert werden. Benutzen sie dafür folgende Tabelle: deutsch | englisch Summe | Sum Mittelwert | Average Produkt | Product Max | Max ... .. . Beispiel: =PIVOTDATENZUORDNEN ($A$1;"Name[Name1;Sum]") anstelle von -=PIVOTDATENZUORDNEN ($A$1;"Name[Name1;Summe]")- == End ==

Is this the same in LibreOffice 3.3.1?
> Is this the same in LibreOffice 3.3.1? Yes, this is also in LO 3.3.1.

I just found this similar Issue: http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=80659 from 2007 on the OOo Bug-tracker.
added Kohei Yoshida to CC @Kohei: Please take a look, thanks.
[This is an automated message.] This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases. Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1 more detail on this bulk operation: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/RFC-Operation-Spamzilla-tp3607474p3607474.html
Missing information in help section is still valid for LO 3.5 beta.
Maybe in the english help section should also added a note. Proposal: Notice: If GETPIVOTDATA is used to reference to user-definied subtotals (such as Average, Product, Min/Max, etc.), it is necessary to reference them with their english notation - independent of the current user interface or document language. Further information, including a translated notation table, is supplied in the (non-english) localized help section of this function.
In http://help.libreoffice.org/Calc/Spreadsheet_Functions#GETPIVOTDATA I read this: A function name can be added in the form Field[Item;Function], which will cause the constraint to match only subtotal values which use that function. The possible function names are Sum, Count, Average, Max, Min, Product, Count (Numbers only), StDev (Sample), StDevP (Population), Var (Sample), and VarP (Population), case-insensitive. So maybe it is not necessary to add a note, but translators should be warned that they should not translate function names in this sentence.

Please read this message in its entirety before responding. Your bug was confirmed at least 1 year ago and has not had any activity on it for over a year. Your bug is still set to NEW which means that it is open and confirmed. It would be nice to have the bug confirmed on a newer version than the version reported in the original report to know that the bug is still present -- sometimes a bug is inadvertently fixed over time and just never closed. If you have time please do the following: 1) Test to see if the bug is still present on a currently supported version of LibreOffice (preferably 4.2 or newer). 2) If it is present please leave a comment telling us what version of LibreOffice and your operating system. 3) If it is NOT present please set the bug to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a short comment telling us your version and Operating System Please DO NOT 1) Update the version field 2) Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) 3) Set the bug to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + LibreOffice is powered by a team of volunteers, every bug is confirmed (triaged) by human beings who mostly give their time for free. We invite you to join our triaging by checking out this link: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugTriage There are also other ways to get involved including with marketing, UX, documentation, and of course developing - http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/. Lastly, good bug reports help tremendously in making the process go smoother, please always provide reproducible steps (even if it seems easy) and attach any and all relevant material
Yes, this is still valid for/in LO 4.2 adding Eike Rathke to CC Maybe someone from the translation team can work on this?
Hi, I was not aware of this issue. I'll send a mail to the l10n team, the string is in: Help/scalc/01.po 04060109.xhp par_id3168736 help.text KeyID: Haoyc Maybe to make sure it's not translated, adding a comment to the code would be great :) I'll add a note in our translation guide. Closing as it's up to the l10n teams to update their translation. Sophie
