------- Additional comments from [email protected] Wed Feb 11 08:43:43 +0000 2009 ------- X-Y charts are essential for certain kind of data. For instance, open the attached spreadsheet document. In contains few data cells, and two charts displaying this data, one being a line chart, one being an X-Y chart. Both charts differ significantly. (Imagine what this difference would mean to you if the data were actually stock prices :) The reason is that the original data is "incomplete" in the sense that not for every data, values exist: In the "date" column, some days are not present. Now, doing the very same with Base: - open the attached database document. It contains the same data as the spreadsheet document - open the contained report by double-clicking it => the report displays the line chart, in the very same way as in the spreadsheet document. Fine so far. - open the report for editing - change the chart's type to X-Y chart => the display is not at all the same as in the spreadsheet document. In particular, one of the two data series vanished from the chart. The reason here is that for an X-Y-Chart, you need to uncheck the "First column as label" check box in the "Data Ranges" dialog, to get proper results. However, this cannot be done in SRB, here it seems that the first column is always used as label: - "enter" the chart by double-clicking it - open the "Data Ranges" dialog from the context menu - uncheck the "First column as label" box - close the dialog with OK - re-open the dialog => the box is checked, again Effectively, this means that X-Y charts are unusable in SRB, since you do not get them to display the data properly. Which is a pity, since, as mentioned above, X-Y charts are essential sometimes. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
