Comparison HTML Page and sample excel files

On the website of softmaker office a couple of years there were a comparison between excel, their planmaker an openoffice 2.0.

With the release of libreoffice 5.0 i checked if the issues are still valid.

Unfortunately a lot of issues are still open.

a couple of issue are regarding positioning of elements, some are regarding missing data after import, some are releated to missing chart elements.

I saved the whole comparision page with all the sample documents.

may these excel files help you tracing the cause.

Regards

AutoShapes: bug 49881 (regarding them in general)
WordArt: bug 51672
Array functions work ok.
Charts: looks buggy, don't remember a report, might be hard to find
Radial charts: looks slightly buggy, don't remember a report and can't find one
Charts with legends: I have seen a report for this
Surface charts: can't remember a report for this
Additional charts: I have seen a bug report for that same file (maybe many)

All in all, it seems like this comparison is quite well known and I believe all of these files have bug reports.

I will set this to invalid, but I am happy you want to improve the quality of LibO.

I urge you to continue as we are always looking for more volunteers. Here you will find the detailed instructions on testing bug reports: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugTriage
