Bug ID: 103863
Summary: Enhancement request: Chart title/label from
spreadsheet cell (i.e., dynamic instead of fixed
value)
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Chart
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
A Calc chart can read its data from spreadsheet cells, and the chart is
dynamic: if the data changes. However, the title and labels of the chart can
only be entered as fixed values - they cannot be read from a spreadsheet cell.
My request is that (Calc) charts should be enhanced to similarly allow dynamic
titles and labels. This will give the user much more flexibility in making
charts that can be used as a template where data AND titles/label can be
changed without "manual" editing of the diagram.
I often miss this feature when analyzing data in Calc. Often I set up a series
of charts to present a sample data set in the way I wish. Afterwards, I use the
final spreadsheet with charts to analyse other data sets. While diagrams can
dynamically change to reflect the new data, I have to manually change titles
and labels, even though the titles and labels are given in my data.
(M$ Excel already works in this way: If the chart is created from data
including headlines, the headlines become dynamic labels connected to the
headline cells. As argued above, I consider this a very useful feature.)
Any chance of this becoming possible in charts created in Calc (and possibly
charts created otherwise)?
Best regards,
Lars J
