Description Lionel Elie Mamane 2013-08-31 07:24:36 UTC 
Created attachment 84950 [details]
reproduction example (as generetad by Base Report Builder)

Consider the attached document (created by Base Report Builder).

It contains a chart (and not much else). It uses internal data, that comes in <table:table table:name="local-table">. It contains two columns:

 - column A: categories (locations on X axis)
   values 5 20 25 40

 - column B: data series labelled 'Date'
   values 2013-01-12 2013-02-23 2013-03-02 2013-10-02

Now, open (in Writer) the data table of the chart. The "Date" data series is all blank; the values were purely and simply dropped.

On the other hand, the "Categories" column (series) is formatted as dates. I also don't understand why that is. The only date format in the chart object (content.xml) is  <number:date-style number:automatic-order="true" style:name="N10051">, which is used only in <style:style style:family="chart" style:name="ch5" >, which itself is used only on the *y* axis, while the categories are used for the *x* axis, and the format does not match anyway. I thought, maybe this is because of the <chartooo:date-scale/> tag on the x, but even if I remove it (see second attachment: "without date-scale"), they still get displayed as dates.

Even without any hint of any date-related anything in the file (except the values in the *SECOND* column which have nothing to do with the categories!), the categories are still shown as dates.

Who usually handles chart XML integration into Writer ?

Markus, since you are our Chart guy, what do you think about this one? Thanks in advance.

Couldn't test it because of https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92720
Reports with charts couldn't be opened since LO 5.0.0.3 ...

In

Version: 5.2.0.0.alpha0+

the first test document opened in Writer displays a chart grid containing no data, curves or block graphs.

The X axis abscissa displays the values 5 20 25 40
The Y axis abscissa displays datetime formatted values :
11/01/1900
09/01/1900
07/01/1900
05/01/1900
03/01/1900
01/01/1900
30/12/1899

all with zero time values.
The 1st and 2nd test documents appear identical on screen.

The 3rd test document shows integers in the Y axis abscissa
