Clearly we need a fix and a unit test so it never comes back; patches very much appreciated. Until then - I CC Kohei who may have some ideas - it's been a MAB for nearly a month I guess. The Pivot code is rather tricky, tangled and there are is no shortage of bugs that give wrong results in any given version of it for the last many years - we are slowly moving the bugs around, fixing them - and stopping known ones coming back with unit tests. Help from anyone doing QA earlier in the cycle to catch such things earlier is much appreciated. Expanding our PivotTable unit tests is also not a terribly hard thing to do - cf. http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/sc/qa/unit/ucalc.cxx#n1698 Might be nice if end-users could do that themselves; then again - the request to extend the calc unit tests fell didn't yield much. We essentially need complicated scenarios with minimal data (ie. small) test sheets as .ods files, with verified correct / matching .csv files (one per sheet) that we can drop into here: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/sc/qa/unit/data/ods vs. http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/sc/qa/unit/data/contentCSV Perhaps we could do that for pivot-table corner-cases too: there are a lot of them. Help much appreciated. Anyhow - sorry for the new bug - no doubt it is a side-effect of fixing another bug. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
