------- Additional comments from [email protected] Wed Apr 7 14:55:16 +0000 2010 ------- I understand the technical limitation and the workarounds. I would suggest that Calc be altered to display such a chart WITH the missing category (as in Writer). That way it is clear that there are some categories selected with no data and behavior is consistent across both products. My usage scenario is this: I keep scientific data in a spreadsheet, where I perform calculations and analysis and then create charts. I need to paste the charts into writer to prepare reports from the data, but I don't want to paste as pictures because I need to alter the formatting slightly for the report (font sizes, colors, etc.). I also do not want to duplicate my data in a writer table because this creates substantial extra work and invites transcription errors. I recognize that the link is broken, but if I need to edit the data I want to do it only one place, not two (e.g. I will edit data in the spreadsheet then re-paste the chart). When I have prepared a Calc chart and I paste into Writer, I expect it to look the same. When it doesn't, I have to go fiddle with the Calc chart and re-paste it until it displays properly. This is annoying, time-consuming, makes it easy to introduce inaccuracies into reports, and would be unacceptable in a production environment I think. Thank you for your attention. I'm not trying to be a "squeaky wheel" but I don't feel this is getting the attention it deserves. I think it is small behavioral quirks like these that frustrate and drive people away from OpenOffice. I'll rest my case here, but I strongly encourage the dev team to reopen this issue and fix the rendering of the Chart in Calc to be consistent with Writer. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
