Charts in MS Excel 2010

Reproducible in LibreOffice 4.2.0.4. I attach a sreenshot in MS Excel 2010 to show how it should be.

This is still present.

Seems to use named ranges to refer to the data in the chart, although I can't seem to find the reference even in Excel..

Might be related to bug 83307

Simple example utilising a named range
Comment 11 Myk Dowling 2020-04-28 19:29:11 UTC
I think this is a more fundamental problem with LibreOffice just not storing  named ranges correctly. As an example, I've attached a simple named_range_test.ods that does an index lookup on a named range. Opening this file in LibreOffice works fine, but if you open it in Google Docs or Excel, the named range is not defined.

Named range test saved as .XLSX file

Saving a file with a named range as a .xls has the same effect. LibreOffice can see the named range when opened, but no other application sees the named range.

Dear skiani,

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
