If this has been deleted because it has been solved  please provide a link to the solution, so that I can review and try it.  It is also impossible to link more than one external chart to any spreadsheet through the linking solution.  See the procedure in this discussion link: https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/how-do-you-create-a-chart-in-a-spreadsheet-that-uses-data-contained-in-another-calc-spresdsheet/48542/7

If you would review more info about this "Deleted/Left Out Functionality", removed, ignored or drooped functionality please review this link: https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/calc-functionality-lost/99603/5

I would appreciate a response and review of the bug, rather than a flat rejection.  Calc can use URL links to other spreadsheets, and used to do this when it was Star Office.  It also worked in Excel.  Why has it been swept  under the table?

Nothing has been deleted or rejected. It is normal for users to report issues that have already been reported earlier. As you can see, this older report is still open.

Dear Markus Mohrhard,

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.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. 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!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
