Description Cornelius 2012-07-01 03:22:44 UTC
Problem description: 
"Mean Value Lines" within a chart is not visible after reopen a file in xls/x file format. In odt file format it is OK.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Creat a chart with a "Mean Value Line"
2. Save file in xls or xlsx file format
3. close LibreOffice
4. open file again
5. "Mean Value Line" is not visible (i.e. it is lost)

Current behavior:
"Mean Value Line" is not visible (i.e. it is lost) within a chart after reopen a file in xls or xlsx file format.

Expected behavior:
"Mean Value Line" should be visible within a chart after reopen a file in xls or xlsx file format. 
"Trend Line" in xls or xlsx files are OK.
"Mean Value Lines" in odt files are OK.

Confirmed with:
LO 4.0.0.1
Build ID: own W7 debug build
Windows 7 Professional SP1 64 bit
Comment 6 Cornelius 2014-12-21 17:41:07 UTC
Confirmed with version 4.3.5.2
Comment 7 Markus Mohrhard 2015-05-03 05:13:09 UTC
Do we have an OOXML file that contains a mean value line? So is it possible in MSO to create such a document?

Mean value lines are lost if saving file in XLS format

The attached file shows 2 "Mean Value Lines" in ods format. If you save file e.g. in XLS format and re-open file again, then the 2 "Mean Value Lines" are not visible. 
Calc version 4.3.6.2
Comment 9 Markus Mohrhard 2015-05-04 04:41:02 UTC
I don't need an ods file. I need a xlsx file containing that feature. Right now I suspect that OOXML does not support that feature as I don't know any element that would represent it.

So it would be helpful to see a OOXML file generated by MSO containing that feature.

Comment 16 Cornelius 2023-06-05 07:15:57 UTC
If OOXML does not support this feature, then please close this bug 51613.
Sorry for the confusion.

Dear Cornelius,

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

Warm Regards,
QA Team
