That's the _export_ (to xlsx) issue I mentioned.

That's the _import_ (from xlsx) issue I mentioned.


FWIW, using GSheets I can also see the difference between the attached files,
although there was no error message while opening the file saved by Calc.


For someone that has access to both Excel and Calc, it could be interesting to
test whether the problem also occurs when the pivot table and its chart are
created in the same worksheet as the original data (instead of having them in
another worksheet, separated from the data).

I'm not even sure that having these in separated worksheets is (correctly)
supported.


Someone (else) would need to replicate the problem from the start (and compare
it with the above attachments):

1. Using Excel, create an xlsx file with a similar Pivot Table and Chart.
2. Open it in Calc > check how it is imported.
3. Save as a new xlsx file and close Calc.
4. Using Excel, open the new xlsx saved by Calc > check how it was exported
(i.e. is there some error message in Excel about the file?).

By generating a new file from scratch, and comparing the results with those in
comments 5,6, the whole procedure is replicated. This would eliminate some
particular setting or format in the specific documents and/or in the particular
system in which those attachments were created.

Since there seem to be 2 issues, once these problems are replicated by someone
else, there might be a need to open a second bug report; one for the import and
the other for the export.

But, before investing more resources, the first question (which its answer IDK)
is:

Is this case supported by Calc at all?
